Man steals car in front of police officer and TV cameras

A man accused of stealing a car in front of a police officer and television cameras has been arrested in Virginia.

Jim Sughrue, a spokesman for the Raleigh Police Department, said today that Anthony Wayne Williams, 38, was arrested overnight in New Kent County, Virginia.



Television footage shows a man getting into a 2004 Honda Accord while the female owner talked with a police officer nearby. The officer ran to the car when it started to move, slapped the hood and told the man to stop. But he drove away.

The car was recovered during Williams' arrest.
