Tourist steals pizza delivery car to catch last-minute flight out of Wyoming
A tourist accused of stealing a pizza driver's delivery car to head to the airport in Jackson Hole, Wyoming will likely not be charged.
The tourist, Quinn McElwain, 21, of Vermont, was reported missing Wednesday by his friends after he left the Elk Country Inn, according to the Jackson Hole News & Guide. The same evening, a Pizza Hut driver reported his Toyota RAV4 stolen — it had been left running outside the inn.

Efforts to contact McElwain have not yet yielded results.
