PSA: Stealing a car to get to your auto theft court date probably not the best plan

Thomas Minks is either hopelessly compulsive, or a candidate for a World's Stupidest Criminal Award. Last Thursday, Mink was at a crack house when he remembered he needed to appear in court on theft and auto theft charges from stealing a vehicle back in January.

Apparently having no other forms of transportation, Minks elected to swipe a 2002 Mercedes-Benz S500 V owned by Lucas Evelio Hernandez. Police tracked the stolen vehicle via its GPS system. Minks tried to evade the officers, nearly running two of them down before being subdued with a stun gun.Needless to say, he faces a few more charges.
