SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — A Sioux Falls man is behind bars accused of stealing a mail van.
Police say a postal worker was parked just a block from McKennan Park when a man approached her and asked for the keys.
He took off in the van and crashed into some bushes on Duluth Avenue.
Police say the man then tried to get into a car on Minnesota Avenue driven by a 17-year-old girl.
“So he actually opened the car door and was trying to get her out. She ended up shutting the door and locking it. Then he took off,” said Officer Sam Clemens.
28-year-old Joshua Ducey was arrested for Grand Theft and Tampering with a Motor Vehicle.
