An Ursa man is in the Adams County Jail in connection with an alleged Christmas Eve vehicle theft.

Adams County Sheriff's deputies responded to a report of a stolen vehicle on Highway 96 south of Ursa just before 3:45 p.m. Friday.

The friend continued to follow the stolen vehicle, updating Adams County Dispatch on its location.

Officers made a traffic stop on the stolen vehicle at North 15th and Cedar and took 37 year old Eric Glas of Ursa into custody.
