HOULTON, Maine — Police say that an unlocked, running vehicle Monday afternoon proved too tempting for a man who had been released earlier that day from the Aroostook County Jail in Houlton.
Houlton police Lt. Dan Pelletier said that a Caribou man stole a vehicle from an alley between the Houlton Pioneer Times newspaper building and another structure around 4 p.m.
According to Pelletier, Jason Anovic, 31, of Caribou discovered the vehicle which had been left unlocked and running while the operator was nearby.
He had just been released from the jail in Houlton, but information on why he was incarcerated was not immediately available. The jail is across the street from the Pioneer Times building.
Anovic reportedly stole the vehicle and headed toward Hodgdon.
The vehicle was quickly located by Maine State Police, and Anovic was stopped less than an hour later near the Amity-Cary town line.
State police Sgt. Tom Pelletier said Tuesday that Anovic was rearrested and charged with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.

Commitment to excellence?
maybe the jail should give a list of laws upon release
Apparently there was not enough oxygen in the jail….
Gone in 60 seconds…
Gone for 60 minutes?
LOL guess he did not learn one thing in jail…..back you go.
Maybe he learned to steal cars.
Hey, he was just trying to keep his skills sharpened.
He missed his Bros.
looks like they might as well just put “ol yeller” down…..
I wonder if he had just completed a sentence or just been bailed? Maybe he needed a warm bed with meals.
It was really cold up here Monday afternoon and night…
Not the brightest crayon in the box is he?
