LEXINGTON, Ky. _ A Kentucky man was charged with two separate car thefts Wednesday after he allegedly stole a car, was caught and taken into custody, was released from jail and then stole another car, police said.
Mylan T. Salsman, 19, of Big Clifty, was detained by police around 9 a.m. Wednesday and charged with stealing a 2006 Ford Taurus from a Walmart parking lot, according to a Facebook post from the Leitchfield Police Department.
Police said they received a call about the theft and then learned the Grayson County sheriff deputies had allegedly found Salsman driving the car.
He was detained, but Salsman met conditions for a pretrial release and was dismissed from jail after the first theft, police said.
He went back to the Walmart after he was released and allegedly stole a 2007 KIA Spectra, police said.
