(Karen Madden, Wisconsin Rapids Daily Tribune) A 27-year-old Stevens Point man pleaded not guilty May 18 to stealing a city ambulance with a patient inside.

According to Karen Madden with the Wisconsin Rapids Daily Tribune, Benjamin L. Feltz faces four felony counts including first-degree recklessly endangering safety, threatening to cause bodily harm to an individual involved with the court or legal system, operating a motor vehicle without the owner's consent and attempting to flee or elude an officer.

He also is charged with six misdemeanor counts including lewd and lascivious behavior, obstruction of emergency or rescue persons, disorderly conduct, operating after revocation due to alcohol or controlled substance, violating a court order restricting operating privilege-ignition interlock device, and operating a motor vehicle while under the influence: third offense.

Feltz is scheduled for a pretrial conference on July 24. This stemmed from an incident that began on February 17th in Wisconsin Rapids and eventually evolved into a high speed chase involving a naked Feltz and an ambulance. The chase finally ended in Pittsville and Feltz was arrested.
