Text: Defendant allegedly stole an acquaintance's car or acquired it after someone else stole it in Michigan. He then drove the car to Kentucky, where he was arrested. By agreement with the Kentucky prosecutor, defendant pleaded guilty of attempted theft by unlawful taking or disposition of property valued at $300 or more. Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. 514.030. Later, defendant was charged in Michigan for the same car theft.
