We’ve got our first candidate for Dad of the Year. And technically, he wasn’t even a dad yet . . .
Some idiot in rural Kentucky got arrested after cops say he stole his ex-girlfriend’s car while she was GIVING BIRTH TO HIS BABY. (!!!)
His name is Christopher Mollette, and he’s 37. His ex went into labor last Friday. She was at a hospital in Pikeville, Kentucky, right near the Virginia border.
Chris showed up for the birth, but the hospital said he couldn’t come in because of “visitation policies.” The mom told him he could wait outside in her car instead and gave him the keys.
He said he’d stay in the car until the baby arrived, but then never came back. He just bolted and left town.
Security footage showed him getting into the passenger’s seat first. But then he got out, hopped in the driver’s seat, and drove off.
She called and asked where her car was. He told her it was “none of her business” and hung up.
Cops tracked him down the next day about 30 miles from the hospital. He was driving the car when they spotted him.
He’s facing charges for theft and receiving stolen property, and it’s not his first rodeo. His rap sheet includes several prior arrests, including one for possession of methamphetamine.
(Here’s his mugshot.)
Officers wrote that the victim called Mollette, and he allegedly told her “it was none of her business where her vehicle was” before he hung up. https://t.co/iM4uvuibZX
