A Mountain Home man was awakened early Thursday at his home along County Road 301 to the sounds of barking dogs. When he looked out the window of his home, he did not see anything unusual. Moments later, he heard a car door shut and the engine of a vehicle start. He then saw his car backing slowly out of the driveway.As he ran outside toward his car, the unknown driver accelerated backward out onto Country Road 301. The vehicle owner reported as he ran across his yard and just as he was about to reach the road, the car accelerated forward striking him. He was thrown by the car, sustaining minor injuries but refusing immediate medical attention.
The vehicle turned left onto Old Tracy Road, and the owner heard it turn right on Highway 5 South, traveling north toward the Sheid-Hopper Bypass.
A BOLO or “be on the lookout” was entered in the Arkansas Crime Information Center system for the vehicle just before 2:00 a.m. About an hour later, the Baxter County Sheriff’s Office was notified the stolen vehicle had been recovered in Marion County, and a suspect, 24-year-old Braydan Anthony Sisk of Mountain Home, had been taken into custody.
The incident report notes Sisk had apparently run out of gas in the stolen vehicle and had taken a truck in Marion County. Online records indicate he is being held in the Marion County Detention Center on a theft of motor vehicle charge. No bond amount is indicated.
