Walker began driving recklessly, causing other vehicles to veer off the road. The stolen truck eventually came to a stop on County Line Road.

Isaiah Walker was taken into custody by the deputy and Officer Wilcox, who offered Walker his Miranda rights and interviewed him at the scene.

Police said Walker admitted to stealing the truck because he had just been released from prison and needed a ride home. He was adamant that the Corvette had nothing to do with the semi theft.

Walker was booked into the Cochise County Jail on multiple felonies, including robbery, 11 counts of theft of a vehicle, and felony theft.
