PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — A man found sleeping inside a U-Haul truck with the door open and engine on was arrested after police said they found him with credit cards, Social Security cards and driver’s licenses that had been reported stolen.
The Port St. Lucie Police Department said in a news release that its officers found Grover Willis sleeping in the U-Haul at a Speedway Gas Station on Wednesday at 3 a.m. Police said that when they asked to see his driver’s license, he had difficulty producing it “because it was mixed in a bag with several Social Security cards, credit cards, and other driver licenses that officers learned were reported stolen out of south Florida.”
Officers said they quickly discovered the U-Haul had been reported stolen from south Florida, and Willis did not have a valid driver’s license. Police said in the news release that officers also found a crack pipe and cocaine inside the vehicle.
Police told WPEC that Willis was taken into custody after initially resisting arrest. He was charged with grand theft of a motor vehicle, unlawfully possessing five or more identifications, possession of cocaine, possession of drug paraphernalia, resisting an officer and operating a vehicle without a valid license.
