Police: Burglar Drives Off in Stolen Car with a Stick Shift — Which May Have Been Tough for Him to Drive
|
When police officers questioned one of the drivers involved in a traffic accident at 10:42 p.m. on Saturday, he wouldn’t identify himself, then he asked officers if they knew anything about “hydraulics” and pointed to the stick shift, and officers concluded he was having trouble using it, police said. The police account, which includes accusations not proven in court, indicates that the traffic accident may have been the least of what was going on that night. Police noticed the driver, Diamond Samuel, 24, was wearing hospital scrubs and a hospital bracelet. Asked where he was coming from, the Brooklyn resident pointed to a house on Lakeside Avenue. Police determined that the vehicle was owned by a resident there.
