Nebraskan who took long test drive sentenced for Iowa theft

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) - A Nebraskan who took a long test drive in a vehicle from an Iowa dealer has been sentenced for theft.

The Daily Nonpareil reports (https://bit.ly/22eQ5nr ) that 28-year-old Michael Detty, of Lincoln, pleaded guilty. He was sentenced Monday to five years in prison.

An arrest affidavit says Detty took a sport utility vehicle from Fleming Motors in Council Bluffs on Jan. 14. He called a couple hours later to say he was going to pick up his father and have lunch. A Fleming salesman asked Detty to bring back the SUV.

The affidavit says the SUV was found four days later in Urbandale, about 115 miles away.
