(WSVN) - A man accused of going on an ambulance joyride made an appearance in bond court, Monday morning.

Michael Paul was charged with grand theft auto and driving with a suspended license after he was accused of stealing a Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue truck from Broward Health North on Sunday evening.

Deputies tracked the ambulance by GPS, and arrested Paul in Fort Lauderdale.

According to BSO, Paul told detectives he stole the rescue truck because he “needed a car.”

He is now being held on a $1,000 bond.
