FHP: One-armed man steals car from Whataburger, loses control and crashes in Navarre

A one-armed man crashed a vehicle in Navarre on Saturday morning that was allegedly stolen from a Whataburger in Fort Walton Beach earlier that day.

Slayter Glen Allen Cole, 24, of Mary Esther, drove the vehicle off the roadway and collided with two embankments, a concrete drain, two trash cans, a mailbox and two more trash cans before coming to rest in the driveway of a home in the 1900 block of Costa Verde Court just after 10 a.m. Saturday, according to a Florida Highway Patrol report.

Cole told authorities he crashed the 2015 Hyundai due to his disability. He was arrested after being transported to Fort Walton Beach Medical Center with minor injuries.

The vehicle was stolen after the owner left her keys inside the vehicle, the report said.

Cole is charged with grand theft auto, driving with a suspended license and failure to maintain his lane.
