A Daytona Beach (FL) man was arrested after he tried to sell a stolen car back to its owner.

Car owner Walter Potts told police that he received a telephone call informing him that his stolen car was identified and could be purchased back for $150. Potts was told to bring the money to a local Save-a-Lot store where he could exchange it for the car keys. Potts notified police, who accompanied him in an unmarked car.

When Devin Holt-Thayer approached Potts with the keys and demanded the cash, officers moved in. Holt-Thayer then ran off and tried to hide in a local O'Reilly Auto Parts store, where he was apprehended. Holt-Thayer claimed he was paid $10 to turn over the keys for cash. Holt-Thayer has been charged with felony dealing in stolen property, felony grand theft and misdemeanor resisting officers without violence.

According to news reports, Potts plans to press charges.
