‘Weirdo took car and kidnapped salesman on terrifying 100mph test drive’
Metro (U.K.) ^ | 9/21 | Jaco

Posted on 09/27/2020 12:32:12 AM PDT by nickcarraway

A kidnapper took a car and its salesman on a terrifying 100mph joyride after refusing to return the vehicle to its dealership.

Caleb Robert Gibson, 43, went to a car dealership in Salt Lake City, Utah on Saturday and went to multiple locations throughout the city during his alleged joyride, police said.

Gibson was driving 100 mph on the freeway, rolled all the windows down and turned the music up on full volume which the salesman said was so that the dispatcher could not hear the address.

Gibson said to the trooper that the salesman was yelling at him and grabbing the steering wheel which made Gibson scared and prompted him to keep driving.

He is believed to be a continued danger to the salesman involved, according to police, and is being held without bail on one count of second-degree felony kidnapping.

Gibson has multiple charges dating back to 1999, which include, drug possession, robbery, theft and more.

I wonder what “drug possession” had to do with this psychotic?

Any car salesman that permits a person to take a test drive that looks like that should be immediately fired, if he survived.

They don’t mention the car.

If it was a Hellcat or Demon, it could have been considered “extenuating circumstances”.

It’s not hearing this for the first time in my 68 years of life. Somebody did it 4x years ago with a Porsche 911T!

Back when the top speed limit in the state was 55, I took a used car for a drive. It was a Dodge Omni GLH Turbo.

My wife and I were in the front seat while the owner was in the back.

At one point, he said “This car is really fast. I took it up to 70 once.”

I said “Well, I’m doing 85 right now.”

He didn’t say another word. I bought the car.
