BELLEVUE — State Troopers arrested a 36-year-old man who they say drove a stolen car into their parking lot at a district office in Bellevue.

KOMO-TV reports an alert driver recognized the stolen vehicle from a post on a European motorist club Facebook post and spotted it in the Issaquah area.

Troopers say the witness captured video of Micah Hatcher behind the wheel of the car and used his cell phone to report it. The witness followed the car from Issaquah and Bellevue and then into the State Patrol parking lot.

Detectives say it was the easiest auto theft arrest they’d ever had.
