Man Allegedly Steals Semi Hauling $1.25 Million Worth of New Corvettes for Ride Home from Prison

A tractor-trailer full of brand-new Corvettes worth over $1.25 million was stolen by an ex-convict looking for a ride home in Arizona on Thursday, police said.

Twenty-three-year-old Isaiah Walker of Lawton, Oklahoma was booked on Thursday on multiple felony charges for the alleged theft. Charges include robbery, 11 counts of theft of means of transportation, and felony theft, per police.

The truck was parked at the Willcox Loves Truck Stop in Willcox, Arizona when Walker began to strike up a conversation with the truck driver. When the driver attempted to climb into the cab of the truck, Walker grabbed the driver and threw him to the ground. At that point, Walker got into the truck, locked the doors, and drove it out of the parking lot, police said.
