A Pulaski man who allegedly stole a police patrol car and several other vehicles during a four-day effort to avoid arrest was nabbed early Wednesday afternoon in Wythe County. He was charged in Pulaski County last month with failing to complete drug court. The incident began around 1:23 p.m. Sunday when a deputy attempted to stop a car that was reported stolen. Following a road pursuit, the vehicle stopped and the occupants fled on foot, but both were caught and arrested. BUT....After being taken to the hospital for a blood test related to the DUID, Drain was taken to the magistrate’s office in Christiansburg, where he was able to partially remove his restraints and gain access to the driver compartment of a deputy’s car (uh oh). Drain allegedly fled in the patrol car and abandoned it in Montgomery County. Sunday evening, a county resident discovered clothing matching what Drain was wearing discarded near a building where camouflage clothing and boots, as well as a handgun, were missing.
Police discovered Monday a 2001 Volvo station wagon had been stolen in the Pilot area. Police suspected Drain stole it based on sightings, tips and tracking information, he said.
The search continued Tuesday and Wednesday morning, until Drain was located and arrested. He was being held without bond in New River Valley Regional Jail Wednesday afternoon.

Cody Ryan Drain? Could it be that his troubles first began with that name?
With some people don’t ever ask them “how dumb can you get?”, as they may take it as a challenge and surprise you!
DB Cooper he’s not.
I thought it might be in Arkan-saw from the names of towns and newspaper.
I think the LEO on the right looks a LOT like an overweight Jack Bauer....
Yes. He was a pretty good car thief to get as far as he did.
He needs to be more duck footed... and he would fall over!
They don’t get paid very much as a deputy, so the best officers go work for the local town police departments or get promoted.
So he was supporting the Libertine cause. It was probably one of a very few honest statements he’s made.
