Authorities in Shenandoah say a Pottawattamie County man was arrested Thursday after he allegedly stole an SUV that was left running at a local convenience store. The suspect, 41-year old Richard Rapp, of Oakland, is said to have driven off from the Casey’s General Store on Highway 59 in Shenandoah. Authorities later received word the vehicle, a 2002 Chevy Avalanche, hit a tree at the American Legion Golf Course in Shenandoah.

Witnesses saw Rapp run from the scene of the accident. When Police caught up with him, Rapp was subdued through the use of a stun gun. He was transported by Shenandoah EMS to the Shenandoah Medical Center to be checked for possible injuries.

Charges were pending in connection with the incident.
