A man from Kentucky is accused of taking off with a car belonging to his child’s mother right after witnessing the birth of their child. The incident reportedly occurred at Pikeville Medical Center, according to police.

Christopher Mollette, 37, hailing from Tomahawk, allegedly visited the hospital to be present for the birth. Due to hospital visitation restrictions, Mollette was not allowed inside. The mother, who police identified as Mollette’s ex-girlfriend, permitted him to wait in her car to keep warm, as reported by Mountain Top Media.

Mollette, who reportedly has a history of arrests, agreed to the arrangement and went to the car after the birth. Meanwhile, the mother stayed in the hospital.

However, when the time came for Mollette to return, he was nowhere to be found, and the mother discovered her car had vanished. Local authorities were notified, and they reviewed security footage to track Mollette’s movements, according to the Mountain Citizen.

The video allegedly shows Mollette initially entering the passenger side of the car. He is then seen moving to the driver’s seat before driving away from the hospital premises.

The mother told police that she tried calling Mollette to get in touch with him. He allegedly answered the phone and claimed it was none of her business where her vehicle was, then hung up on her, according to the police.

Police say Mollette took the car to Paintsville, which is about 45 minutes away from Pikeville Medical Center, where he was found and arrested on Saturday night. He has been charged with auto theft and receiving stolen property, according to online jail records.

Mollette’s prior arrests include possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, along with traffic charges and failure to appear in court, according to The Mountain Citizen newspaper. He was being held on Monday at the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center on a $10,000 bond for each charge he’s currently facing.
