A black man is behind bars after he tried to steal a tow truck

County Police say that the tow truck's drivers found Ronnell Sims sitting on the back of their truck in the Riverview Place apartment complex in Claymont, and when they told him to get off the truck, he refused, eventually grabbing a red light from the top of the truck and running toward Governor Printz Boulevard. The light was still attached to the truck by a cord, and fell out of Sims' pocket as he ran. Sims was back on the truck a short time later, and attacked one of the drivers, demanding the keys to the truck. The drivers held Sims till police arrived, and he was arrested after giving a false name and struggling with the officers. Sims is being held at the Hoard Young Prison on charges of attempted carjacking, attempting theft, resisting arrest, offensive touching and criminal impersonation.
