A Utah man who stole a car from the parking lot of a local radio station has been sentenced to jail.

Lincoln County District Court Judge Donald Rowlands sentenced 23-year-old Denver Lindsey to 180 days in jail for theft by taking and fleeing to avoid arrest.

North Platte Police responded to KODY on the report of a stolen vehicle in the early morning hours of October 14th.

Shortly thereafter, a Nebraska State Patrol Trooper located the vehicle in the Wal-Mart parking lot.  Police say Lindsey then led officers on a short pursuit that ended in a parking lot on East Francis Street.

In addition to the jail time, Rowlands also ordered that Lindsey’s license be suspended for one year.  He was given credit for 85 days served in jail.
