Thomas Minks is destined to go to jail for stealing cars. Minks was at a crack house when he remembered it was time to appear in court on theft and auto theft charges.

He needed transportation and he needed it fast. So, why not steal a Mercedes-Benz S500? Police tracked the stolen vehicle using GPS.

Minks nearly ran over a few police officers when he was spotted with the vehicle. So they shot him with a stun gun.

At least he won’t miss his next court date.

Oh yeah, Minks’ was captured in front of dozens of lawyers, cops and civilians as police grabbed him in the parking lot of the Miami-Dade Justice Building.
