LUDINGTON, Mich. — A 25-year-old homeless man was arrested Friday morning for stealing a woman's car from a Lowe's parking lot in Ludington.  

The woman is an employee at Lowe's, and she saw it being stolen around 8 p.m. on Thursday as she was leaving her shift. 

Mason County Sheriff's Department deputies found her 2006 GMC Envoy that night behind a Walmart nearby. And around 5:45 a.m. Friday, they arrested Dustin Allen Himes Jr. after he was tracked down by a K-9 deputy on the Pere Marquette Highway. 

A witness told deputies he was trying to flag down passing cars. 

Himes was arraigned on two counts of felony charges: Unlawful driving away of an automobile and larceny from a vehicle.  

They are both five-year felonies, and he is in the Mason County Jail on a $10,000 cash surety bond.
