According to the police report, on July 3 Nantucket officers were called to the Yacht Club on S. Beach Street shortly before 12:30 a.m. for a report that a Jeep was stolen out of the parking lot. Officers spotted the 2021 White Jeep Wrangler on S. Water Street and began to follow it, trying to make a stop. The report states that the driver kept going for about a mile, swerving in and out of his lane, and only stopped when he reached a dead end.
Officers took the suspect, later identified as Dorman, out of the car and noticed urine stains on his shorts. According to police, the smell of alcohol was on his breath and he admitted that he had been drinking. He also acknowledged that he did not have permission to drive the Jeep, police said.
