ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — A man suspected of stealing a car was arrested Monday after he pulled over to view the solar eclipse, investigators said.
Orange County deputy sheriffs from the auto-theft unit were following Jocsan Feliciano Rosado, 22, when he parked the car at Harbor Freight Tools on Osceola Parkway near Kissimmee, they said.
After buying a welder’s mask to view the eclipse, Rosado walked back to the car, put the mask on and started looking up at the sky, sheriff’s spokeswoman Jane Watrel said.
While Rosado was wearing the mask, deputies moved in and arrested him, Watrel said.
Welder’s masks are not approved eclipse-viewing devices.
