COLFAX, Wash. -- A former Rosalia Firefighter was arrested early Sunday morning for stealing an ambulance.
On Sunday morning, Whitman County Sheriff’s deputies were advised that one of the Rosalia Fire Department Ambulances had been taken from the fire station during the overnight hours. Officials reviewed security footage and saw Kelly Brown, 35, enter the fire station around 1:00 a.m. and drive away with one of the ambulances. Department officials said Brown, a former volunteer with the fire department, had no reason to take the ambulance. Officials said the ambulance was later returned.
Brown was later booked into the Whitman County Jail on charges of second degree burglary, taking a motor vehicle without permission and second degree malicious mischief.
Brown was also arrested two weeks earlier for several crimes including second degree burglary, third degree theft, second degree theft, possession of methamphetamine and possession of heroin.
Authorities said many of these charges were based on thefts from the Rosalia Fire Department.
Brown is being held in the Whitman County Jail without bail.
