According to an arrest report, Burgess stole a parked and running truck while a passenger sat inside of the vehicle and began to drive wildly around a parking lot.
The female passenger was “forcibly held” in the truck due to Burgess’ “erratic and dangerous driving,” according to the arrest report.
The havoc didn’t stop there. Burgess struck nine vehicles while behind the wheel of the stolen truck, police said.
“After each of the nine vehicles were struck, by the Defendant’s driving, he fled the scene of the accidents with no signs of him intending to [return] the truck to the rightful owner,” the report said.
During questioning, Burgess allegedly told an officer that he “wanted to see what it was really like to play the video game Grand Theft Auto,” NBC affiliate WVLA reported.
