A suspect driving a stolen vehicle eluded the Utah Highway Patrol when he sped at 130 mph along I-80 near the town of Clive, and then dumped the car and disappeared into the surrounding desert. James Wallingford wasn’t seen or heard from for two days–until he dialed 911 for help. The weather had turned cold and there was snow on the ground, officials noted, so Wallingford used a cellular phone to dial 911 to say he was lost, hungry and cold. The unnamed wife of a state trooper happened to answer the call at the Tooele County sheriff’s comm center, and remembered the pursuit that her husband had participated in two days before. She alerted deputies, who soon located the man and arrested him.
