NOTHING BUT THE BEST FOR THIS OKIE CAR THIEF

Who says Okies don’t have any class?

BENTLEY BANDIT BAGGED

Police have finally caught up to the "Bentley Bandit," wanted in seven states for allegedly stealing luxury cars, after he wrecked -- you guessed it -- a Bentley after a chase.

Justin William Durbin of Altus, Okla., was arrested six hours after he allegedly wrecked a 2007 Bentley stolen from a Florida dealer.

The car was stolen in Naples, Fla., and the personalized license plate had been stolen separately, according to authorities. The license plate read, "CALL 911."

Florida authorities determined late last week that Durbin had apparently taken the car to Louisiana, where Louisiana State Police found him in Lafayette. We suspect finding a Bentley in Lafayette is easier than turning up a stolen Toyota Corolla.

Durbin initially eluded police in a chase, they caught up to him again, according to the AP, in Lake Charles and chased the car to Sulphur. Durbin fled on foot after the car crashed and police called out bloodhounds and trackers to find him. He was arrested without incident.
