Truck thief holds passenger and goat at gunpoint for 130-mile trip

SAND SPRINGS, Okla. (WDAF) -- A man stole a pickup truck with a sleeping passenger and a goat inside it and drove it all the way from Missouri to Oklahoma, police said.

According to an arrest report, two men in a truck parked outside of an adult video store in Carthage, Missouri, early Wednesday morning. The driver went inside the store, and the passenger fell asleep. When the passenger awoke, a masked man was driving the truck and pointing a gun at his head, KOTV reported.

The suspect, 40-year-old Brandon Kirby, drove from Missouri through Kansas. During the 130-mile ordeal, Kirby took methamphetamine, pistol-whipped the victim and continually threatened him, according to the arrest report.

He was eventually arrested in Sand Springs, Oklahoma, after he let the passenger and the goat out of the truck and the victim called 911, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said.

Kirby was jailed on suspicion of kidnapping, pointing a firearm and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
