Man arrested after stealing car from Good Samaritan who stopped to help him

Jacob Allan Mellinger

Authorities responded to a rollover crash of a vehicle at about 10:34 pm on Saturday in the 4400 block of Martin Road. A caller told police that the vehicle is possibly on fire. When authorities arrived at the scene, they learned that several Good Samaritans stopped to help the victim of the accident, but saw the man abandon his car and fleeing into the woods.

A short time later, the man returned, stole one of the cars belonging to the Good Samaritan and fled from the scene. A Deputy Sheriff stopped the car and took the man into custody without incident. He was identified as 24-year-old Jacob Allan Mellinger of Duluth.

Mellinger was taken to a hospital for treatment for minor injuries, then he was taken to the county jail in St. Louis. The incident is still under investigation.
