A U.S Army soldier was arrested Monday in Volusia County. Deputies say he stole a military Humvee and took off.
Deputies say Private Sean Johnson drove the Humvee from his army base at Fort Stewart in Georgia all the way into Volusia when he ran out of gas.
A Volusia County deputy saw the vehicle stranded on Interstate 95 near the Port Orange exit and stopped to check it out.
He got suspicious when Johnson didn’t have any military paperwork to prove he was on a military mission.
The deputy called the Army. Army police say Johnson was AWOL and had stolen the Humvee earlier in the week.
Johnson is in the Volusia County jail facing grand theft charges.
