Suspected carjacker from Sacramento arrested in Nevada

Tuesday, Nov. 30, 1999 | 9:21 a.m.

Theodore McQueen, 21, was arrested in the South Carson Street parking lot after an employee at a nearby store became suspicious about people sleeping in a small van outside the Craft Market.

McQueen was arrested Saturday for investigation of possession of stolen property - a 1992 Plymouth Colt van, possession of forged instruments, possession of a narcotic without a prescription and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

A 15-year-old girl in the van had been reported as a runaway from Sacramento and also was arrested, according to the Carson City Sheriff's Department.

The van allegedly was stolen in a carjacking Wednesday in Sacramento.

McQueen was found to have checks belonging to the vehicle's owner, but made out to a local casino. A department spokesman said it appeared no such checks had been cashed in the area yet.
