The vehicle is part of the Minneapolis Bait Car program. Police equip the vehicles with silent alarms, GPS tracking, and a hidden surveillance camera to record the driver. When someone gets into the vehicle, it alerts officers, tracks its location, and begins recording video.

According to a criminal complaint, officers stopped the Pathfinder near West 31st and Pleasant Avenue South, and found Winston inside. He now faces a charge of Felony Theft of a Motor Vehicle.

KSTP.COM checked court records and found Winston pled guilty to 3rd Degree Burglary in January.
