A college lacrosse player has been arrested for allegedly stealing a truck, kidnapping a woman and smashing into nine cars before telling a police officer he wanted to see 'what it was really like to play the video game Grand Theft Auto'.
Zachary Burgess, 20, was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana at 2.30am on Saturday when officers responded to a report of a stolen vehicle and erratic driving in the Tigerland area.
The Auburn University student, who was in town to watch Auburn take on LSU, allegedly stole the truck after its owner left it running in a bar parking lot with a woman inside.

Burgess allegedly jumped into the driver's seat and tried to speed from the parking lot. But he faced a problem - other parked cars in his way.
'When he tried to flee the parking lot there were several cars blocking the way,' Cpl. Don Coppola of the Baton Rouge Police Department told NBC33. 'He began ramming into the parked cars.'
Burgess, an Auburn freshman from Hoover, Alabama, allegedly struck nine vehicles in total.
