In Reno Nevada police pulled over a man on a barstool after a slow speed pursuit on one of Reno's busier streets.
It started Monday when an officer saw a man riding the motorized stool at 35 mph. He was being followed closely by a woman in a Mustang.
The woman told police she had been on the phone with a dispatcher reporting the bar stool stolen.
The owner of the bar stool confirmed that the stool,powered by a small engine,had been taken three weeks earlier.
The man caught on the stool, said that he had bought it a little over a week ago, thinking it was a toy and added that he had driven it between Reno and nearby Sparks several times. Police estimate its value at over $1,000.
The man caught on the stool faces Reno charges of possession of stolen property,possession of drug paraphernalia and numerous traffic violations.
