(I guess just a taste of freedom was all he wanted.)
Inmate Arrested Shortly After Release
JUNEAU, Alaska - It was only a small taste of freedom. David Mulligan, 21, served 25 days for drunken driving, and was released at 7 a.m. Tuesday. Authorities allege he stole a van three minutes later.
A man who lives a block from the Lemon Creek Correctional Center had left his 1997 Dodge van running to warm up. When he came out of the house, it was gone.
Two hours later, the owner called police on a cell phone, saying he was following the stolen van in traffic.
Police responded, and said they found Mulligan alone in the van.
He now faces up to five years in prison and a $50,000 fine if convicted of felony vehicle theft.
