A 42-year-old man saw a woman walking in the bitter cold on K-68 west of Ottawa on Monday morning and offered her a ride.
According to the story in The OTTAWA (KS) HERALD- the woman got in the man's "gold-colored Ford Escort with a Kansas firefighter license tag"- she pulled a gun on him and forced him to drive her to the area of Interstate 635 and State Avenue in KC-KS and forced the man to get out.
The woman- descibed in the article as "a white woman in her mid-30s with reddish blond hair ... described as being about 150 pounds and between 5 foot and 5 foot, 4 inches tall" drove off with the man's Escort.
The good samaritan was uninjured- but hopefully wiser about picking up pedestrians in a rural area.
