Late Saturday night — in the wee hours of Sunday morning, really — a student at Virginia Commonwealth University stole an ambulance and took it for a brief joyride during a drunken celebration of his 21st birthday.

The theft occurred outside VCU Medical Center. The alleged wasted ambulance crook was Ryan Kovacik.reports local CBS affiliate WTVR.

Kovacik is a pre-med major at VCU and, as it happens, a certified emergency medical technician.

Emergency personnel with Lakeside Rescue had parked the emergency vehicle at the medical facility near the school’s campus in Richmond, Va. They were inside wrapping up a report about a patient.

 

When the four workers walked back outside, the ambulance was gone.

“At that point, it was partially surprise, and partially: this can’t be happening,” one of the first responders, Andy Inge, told WTVR.

The next thing that happened was that a dispatcher was able to contact Kovacik on the two-way radio in the ambulance.

“The conversation was, ‘Hey we know you have it, please bring it back or stop where you are,’ and the person apparently responded,” Inge told the CBS station.

Medical personnel say that conversation did actually convince Kovacik to bring back the ambulance.
