Dickinson man arrested after allegedly stealing car

A 26-year-old Dickinson man has been arrested for Class B felony robbery, Class C felony theft of a motor vehicle and Class C felony terrorizing after he allegedly stole a car when the driver was getting gas at West Dakota Oil on Wednesday afternoon.

The woman told police that she left the vehicle running when a white GMC Yukon pulled up behind her vehicle. The male driver of the Yukon exited the vehicle and then got into her vehicle on the driver's side. The man told the child in the vehicle to get out and the child did exit the vehicle. The man then took off with the car.

The North Dakota Highway Patrol and the deputies later located the car. Dickinson Police Department Capt. David Wilkie said it appears the stolen car may have blown the engine while the NDHP were chasing it.
