SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) – Greene County authorities say two men held a car
dealership employee at gunpoint and stole a truck they were test driving.

Police say the theft ended when the suspects crashed the pickup truck.

Twenty-year-old Garrett Eagle and 43-year-old David Edens are charged with
first-degree robbery in the case.

The Springfield News-Leader reports a probable cause statement says the two men asked to test drive a 2014 Dodge Ram pickup at Wehr RV on June 18.

The statement says the men eventually refused to return the truck. Edens
allegedly pointed a gun at the employee and threatened to shoot her.

A short time later, Eagle crashed the truck and the employee was able to
escape.

Neither man has an attorney listed for this case.
