COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — A Nebraskan who took a long test drive in a vehicle from an Iowa dealer has been sentenced for theft.
The Daily Nonpareil reports that 28-year-old Michael Detty, of Lincoln, pleaded guilty. He was sentenced Monday, April 4, 2016, to five years in prison.
An arrest affidavit says Detty took a sport utility vehicle from Fleming Motors in Council Bluffs on Jan. 14. He called a couple hours later to say he was going to pick up his father and have lunch. A Fleming salesman asked Detty to bring back the SUV.
The affidavit says the SUV was found four days later in Urbandale, about 115 miles away.
Detty was held in the Pottawattamie County Jail.
