The Tulsa Police Department says a man is back behind bars after he was arrested twice in the same week for stealing a car.
On Jan. 17, Tristan Conly was taken into custody by Tulsa police after the victim followed their stolen car that was being driven by Conly. Conly was arrested for possession of a stolen vehicle, improper tag, and driving with a suspended license. He then bonded out of jail.
On Monday around 8 p.m., Tulsa police officers spotted a stolen SUV near Admiral and Harvard and attempted a traffic stop. The driver, now identified as Conly, stopped at first but then sped off, beginning a short pursuit.
Conly spun out in a nearby neighborhood and bailed out of the SUV. He jumped a fence and ran through the neighborhood but was quickly taken into custody.
Police found 2.25 grams of a white crystal substance, and Conly admitted it was methamphetamine.
Police say Conly claimed he did not steal the car and says people keep putting stolen cars in front of his house.
Conly was booked into the Tulsa County Jail.
