Not entirely sure what St. Petersburg man Robert Taylor was thinking when he decided to report his 1995 Thunderbird stolen but it seems like it was a bad decision in hindsight. Taylor is now under arrest for leaving the scene of an accident with property damage, filing a false crime report and driving with a suspended license.
According to a story on TampaBay.com, Taylor tried to cover up two hit-and-run accidents by telling police his car had been stolen the night before. The only problem was Taylor had a passenger in the car who was a witness to the accidents. Pinellas police gave Taylor the chance to recant his false report that his car was stolen, but he stuck by the story. The police didn’t have to go far to find Taylor to arrest him on these charges as he was already in one of their jail cells on charges of DUI and child abuse.
