Victim chased and detained naked car thief

A Florida man, who reported seeing a naked man jump into his pickup truck, pursued the stolen vehicle until it crashed less than two miles away and then detained the accused thief until deputies arrived.

Dean Johnson, of Johnson's Towing, said he had just parked his 1987 Chevrolet pickup in the company parking when he ran in for a cup of coffee and left his keys in the ignition. No sooner than he poured his coffee, Johnson said his secretary began screaming about someone taking off in his truck.



The woman called 911 to report what she witnessed.



Following at a distance, Johnson and his brother, Ronald, gave chase as they called the Putnam County Sheriff's Office for help. Less than two miles away, the stolen pickup wrecked in a field on Reid Street, where Johnson detained the driver, later identified as Wayne Boylan, 41.

Boylan was treated and released for injuries at Putnam County Medical Center before being booked into jail.
