A patient at a Statesboro alcohol and addiction hospital stole an ice cream truck Wednesday morning and fled to South Carolina, where he was later apprehended. Statesboro police Detective Sgt. James Winskey said Eric Anthony Melton, 42, of Irving, Texas, climbed into a 26-foot panel truck parked at Willingway Hospital on Jones Mill Road Wednesday morning and drove off. The Sno-Frost ice cream deliveryman was at the hospital making a delivery when Melton, listed in police reports as a patient of the hospital, somehow got outside and entered the truck, he said.
