A man suspected of stealing an ambulance in Plymouth Township is in police custody.
According to Norristown Patch, 39-year old Carlos Bouie of Norristown surrendered to authorities Thursday morning, after spending hours on the roof of a home at 356 East Penn Street.
"When officers arrived, the subject ran up onto the roof of his home out a second floor window and then from that roof went onto a neighbors roof," said Norristown Police Chief Russell Bono. "He placed himself in such a position that it was very dangerous for police officers to make any attempt to go up and get him."
The standoff lasted about six hours.
Bouie is being evaluated at a mental health facility.
Investigators say a Plymouth ambulance was stolen yesterday while responding to a call on New Hope Street. The vehicle was later recovered on New Hope and Fornance Street.
