A man accused of stealing a car had his initial hearing last week.
Elkhart police were dispatched to Faith Mission for the vehicle theft on October 31 when they were provided surveillance video, leading to Terrance Smith being found and arrested.
The Goshen News says Smith reportedly told police that he was picked up by a friend in South Bend and they went to McDonald’s, but he said when the friend exited the vehicle, Smith began driving the car around and planned to pick him up later. He said he did not realize the vehicle was stolen.
His jury trial is scheduled for February 10.
