A trucking company's GPS system helped State Police in Oregon to find and arrest a Nevada truck driver, who is accused of taking the rig from the Portland area and would not return it.

The trucking company, Knight Refrigeration, called the police and reported that the driver, William Edward Craig, 51, of Zephyr Cove, Nev., allegedly took the truck from the Portland area and refused to return it after they had contacted him and asked him to do so.

The company was using its GPS system to track the stolen truck's movements and about a half-hour later, the rig was stopped and Craig was arrested without incident. Craig was charged with unauthorized use of a vehicle and two counts of possession of a stolen vehicle. Craig was taken to the Jefferson County Jail, where he remained Tuesday on $15,000 bail, pending a court appearance. Sphere: Related Content
