A man was so intent on robbing a motorist that he unwittingly followed her in his car straight to a sheriff's department, where he was arrested.
The 26-year-old man from Michigan, Illinois, was arrested and remains jailed on charges of attempted armed robbery and possession of a stolen vehicle, the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Authorities say the woman called police saying a man had tried to rob her at gunpoint when he pulled alongside her to ask for directions. She had her three children in the car with her.
Investigators say a dispatcher guided the woman to a nearby sheriff's department while the suspect followed, realising too late where she was headed. He was arrested a short time later.
