Man steals parents' F-150, drags 61-year-old father down road
Police have charged Tokoa Page, a 30-year-old Rock Hill man, with petty larceny and resisting arrest after he allegedly dragged his father down the road in an attempt to steal his parents’ pickup truck, The Associated Press reported.
Page’s mother said that she and her husband had not given their son permission to use the truck, but he attempted to take the keys while the father was still inside.
Police received a call that a man “half inside and half outside” a Ford F-150 was being dragged down the road. Officers found the 61-year-old man limping home when they arrived.
Page was located later that day and tried to evade arrest by pulling away from officers with handcuffs on one wrist.
He was given a bond of $2,592.50.
