An U.S. Army private might have made it through Volusia County this week if he had checked his gas gauge.
But what started out as an effort to help that stranded motorist ended up with him behind bars accused of stealing a military Humvee from Fort Stewart in Georgia.
Sean Aaron Johnson, 23, of New Orleans, is being held without bail in the Volusia County Branch Jail in Daytona Beach, accused of grand theft of a motor vehicle.
According to an arrest affidavit, the U.S. Army also intends to charge him with being absent without leave.
After a motorist reported the Humvee sitting on the side of Interstate 95 in the Port Orange area. Deputy Jay Hawman found Johnson sitting in the vehicle that had run out of gas, according to the arrest report.
Johnson, who had only a military identification card and no driver's license, told Hawman he was transporting the vehicle to the Fort Lauderdale.

Hawman was arrested after the Army notified the Sheriff's Office that the vehicle was stolen.

Drunk driver gets into more trouble after posting Facebook photo
Ashley M. Sullivan is in Niagara County Jail, and Facebook may be to blame as much as the car crash that killed a Niagara Falls man.
Sullivan, 17, was sentenced Wednesday afternoon to six months in the County Jail and five years' probation for crashing her car while drunk and killing her boyfriend on Sweeney Street in North Tonawanda.
She pleaded guilty to criminally negligent homicide and misdemeanor driving while intoxicated.
Sullivan was drunk at 2:21 a.m. when she crashed her car into a brick pillar in front of Deerwood Golf Course. Her blood alcohol content was measured at 0.13 percent — the legal standard for intoxication is 0.08 percent — and her speed was estimated at 56 mph in a 30-mph zone.
Her boyfriend and passenger, Alex Rozicki, 20, of Niagara Falls, was killed.
Sullivan went to Florida a month after the crash and posted a photo on her Facebook web page captioned, "Drunk in Florida."

Model helps to save bankers job
A banker caught viewing erotic images of a top model during a live TV interview is to keep his job - thanks in part to her support.Miranda Kerr backed a 'Save Dave' campaign, launched by website Here Is The City News, in support of Macquarie banker David Kiely.
Mr. Kiely faced the sack after a video of him viewing semi-nude images of the Victoria's Secret model while a colleague was being interviewed on live TV appeared on YouTube.
Ms. Kerr, who is the girlfriend of Orlando Bloom, said earlier: "I am told there is a petition to save his job and of course I would sign it."
Mr. Kiely's employer Macquarie has now completed an internal review of the events and says action has been taken.
"He will remain an employee of Macquarie," a statement said. "Macquarie and the employee apologize for any offence that may have been caused."
Mr. Kiley turned around part way through the clip, apparently in surprise, fuelling speculation that he had been the victim of a practical joke.
Channel 10 news aired allegations that he had been set up, with one of the emails containing at the end: "Turn around now."

"I Have Been Prevented From Using My Own Driveway
A blind man wakes up one morning and finds that the entrances to his driveway have been blocked by cement barriers. That man is suffering from physical disabilities has lost his sight and about two months ago underwent a kidney transplant. Naturally he could not witness with his own eyes the convoy which included a City of Toronto truck containing concrete blocks and two police vehicles, which arrived in his house and with a large crane blocked the two entrances to his driveway.The city workers who blocked the driveway told Kadosh that it was too wide and needs to be narrowed down. They claimed they would do the job and then send him the bill. “The driveway was always this wide, even before I moved in. I never received any letter or even a phone call from them and the supervisor refused to give me a copy of the letter that was sent to my old address. The whole thing was done so quickly, in approximately half an hour so I couldn’t respond, and it was done in an insulting way with police on the scene. By blocking the driveway, they essentially prevented me from having access to my own house.”
The City of Toronto refused to comment on the issue. John Filion, a Toronto city councilor representing the ward Kadosh lives in, told Shalom Life that the driveway in Kadosh’s house is illegal. “There were more than ten cars parked on that driveway, making the whole thing illegal. He was given repeated notices to correct the illegalities and had ignored them.” Filion could not comment on the way the matter was handled by city employees or why the letter was sent to Kadosh’s old address in Thornhill.
Kadosh said that he never parked more than two cars on his driveway and so the city’s allegations were untrue.

Theft suspect flees into police station
Police say a man suspected of stealing a bottle of Schnapps from a Wyoming grocery store didn't have the best escape route planned.

Police say the man then ran out of the police station, but not before a dispatcher had spied him on the station's surveillance camera and alerted officers.
The man, who police say was drunk, was caught soon after. He was taken into custody on preliminary charges of resisting arrest and shoplifting.

Jail confiscates drug-filled melon
Melons: do not naturally come filled with drugs
Officials at an American jail have intercepted an illicit cantaloupe sent to inmates - and discovered that it was full of drugs.
Prison officers at the Chelan County Regional Justice Center in Washington state first spotted that there might be something dodgy about the drugs-melon when they spotted that there was a noticeable cut around the top.
Upon examining the fruit more closely, they discovered a bag full of oxycodone pills, as well as some tobacco, had been hidden inside.
The melon was part of a delivery of surplus food from a local grocery store, which is regularly sent to the jail.
Surveillance camera footage from the store showed two women dropping off a shopping bag containing the drugs-melon, which was placed with the rest of the surplus food. Store workers alerted the jail that there might be a naughty fruit in the delivery after seeing the suspicious behavior on the camera footage.

Trouser-stuffing lotion thief was not a smooth criminal
A man who stuffed 75 bottles of body lotion down his trousers failed to make a clean getaway, as he was somewhat hampered by slacks that were nearly bursting at the seams.
Police in Springfield, Massachusetts, say 30-year-old Chamil Guadarrama was charged with larceny after the incident at Bath and Body Works store.
Guadarrama had reportedly tied string around his ankles to stop the bottles slipping out.
Police say mall security officers chased Guadarrama when he tried to flee - but he had stuffed so many of the eight-ounce glass bottles of lotion in his trousers that he could barely run.
Police added he could not bend over to get in the police car until some of the bottles were removed. His legs were also 'extremely chafed', according to police spokesman Sgt. John M. Delaney. 'He needed the use of some of the stolen items.'
The total amount of lotion he attempted to steal came to about 5 gallons, and was worth $787.50 (around £500).
