A Tennessee man was arrested on Sunday after he tried to steal a car at a gas station in Somerset, but crashed into a utility pole and got stuck in the snow.

Somerset Police say Jordan Foster, 28, of Rutledge, was charged with theft by unlawful taking and criminal mischief.

Investigators say Foster and another suspect got into a car that was parked at the Valero station at the intersection of Monticello Street and East Oak Hill Road, while the owner was inside the store. They started to back out, but the owner saw them and ran outside. The car went off the road and hit a pole.

The other suspect escaped, leaving Foster behind.

The owner held Foster until the police arrived.

Capt. Shawn Dobbs of the Somerset Police Department advised the public to lock their cars and not leave them unattended.
