The Wichita Falls Police Department arrested a man early Tuesday morning for attempting to steal a patrol car.

According to WFPD, officers were called to the McDonald’s on Holliday Street around 6:30 a.m. in reference to a man banging on the windows and cussing at employees.

Upon arrival, officers found the man, Cesar Bravo, in the parking lot of Union Square.
