WYMT: Laurel County man offers to pay hitchhiker for sex; hitchhiker steals man’s truck, per police
CLAY COUNTY, Ky. (WYMT) - Updated, Wednesday
The Clay County Sheriff's Office recovered a stolen vehicle and arrested the hitchhiker accused of stealing it.
A Laurel County man allegedly offered to pay a hitchhiker for sex. Deputies said Ronnie Helton drove Michael Paul Collins to Crawfish Road. When Helton got out of his vehicle to undress, Collins drove away with it, deputies said.
Late Monday night, deputies found the stolen Chevrolet Malibu off North Highway 421. They said Collins met an older man from Jackson County at Fall Rock Dollar Store to possibly trade vehicles. That is when Collins allegedly got in the other man's Mercury Cougar, took it for a test drive and did not come back.
It was not until early Wednesday morning that police got a call about a suspicious vehicle on Stacy Branch Road. When deputies arrived, they found the stolen Mercury Cougar. They then tracked down Collins to a home on Williamstown Road. Deputies said Collins tried to run out the back door before they arrested him.
Collins, 26, is charged with theft by unlawful taking, fleeing or evading police on foot and a court bench warrant. He was taken to the Clay County Detention Center.

Sounds like that was his plan, but the hitchhiker took off with his car before he could get his pants off. Or maybe it was the other way around. Either way we'll likely never know for sure.
