AMARILLO, TEXAS -- A Miami man is now in custody after police say he stole an ambulance from Pampa.

Alberto Bernal-Terriquez, 32, was booked into the Potter County Detention Center on charges of Evading Arrest with a Motor Vehicle and Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle.

It was just before 3:00 a.m. Friday when a Potter County Deputy saw a Miami ambulance driving on North Western Street. According to the Potter County Sheriff's Department, the ambulance became suspicious to the Deputy because it was driving about 10 to 15 mph lower than the posted speed limit. Additionally, it was not driving in the direction of a medical facility.

After the driver of the ambulance went through a red light at Amarillo Blvd. and Hughes without any emergency lights or sirens, the Potter County Sheriff's Department said the Deputy decided to make a traffic stop.

The driver of the ambulance refused to stop, police said. The speed of the ambulance was listed at 20 to 25 mph, a press release said. It finally came to a stop ner the 100 block of North Van Buren where the road comes to an end.

The driver, Bernal-Terriquez, was arrested and it was determined the ambulance had been stolen in Pampa. Police said the ambulance was left a tire shop for a front-end alignment.

Gonzales, according to the Potter County Sheriff's Department, gave the false name of Gerado Javier Gonzalez.
