Joshua Krayhagan

A 34-year-old man is in custody after he allegedly stole a vehicle in North Platte on Monday evening.

At around 6:58 p.m., officers responded to the report of a vehicle theft in the 200 block of Rodeo Road.

It was reported that the vehicle had been stolen and the incident had been captured on surveillance video.

At around 8:30 p.m., the owners located their vehicle in the 500 block of East Philip.

Officers located the driver, Joshua Krayhagan, in a nearby business and detained him for questioning.

During the interview, police say Krayhagan gave false information and reported that his name was Jason Krayhagan.  They say he also gave a false date of birth.

According to police, the keys to the vehicle were found in Krayhagan’s possession and investigators confirmed his identity on the surveillance video.

Officers discovered a firearm in the vehicle during a search and say Krayhagan has prior felony convictions which prohibit him from possessing a firearm.

Krayhagan was placed under arrest and jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center on charges of felony theft by unlawful taking, felony criminal impersonation and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Police did not report any damage to the vehicle.
