ST. LOUIS • A second suspect has been arrested for allegedly stealing, and then setting fire to, the lieutenant governor's campaign car.

But before he flame-broiled the car in gasoline, police say he satisfied his own craving for some fast-food cooking.

Jacob Shepard, 18, was apprehended by Cape Girardeau police Thursday morning after he was charged earlier in the week with burglary, stealing and property damage.

According to court documents, Shepard stole Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder's  car, a 2009 Ford Flex, from outside Kinder's home in Cape Girardeau around 4 a.m. Monday.

The car is registered to Friends of Peter Kinder, the lieutenant governor's campaign committee.

The keys to the vehicle, according to the court documents, were in the ignition and the doors were unlocked.

After an ill-conceived attempt to use the sport-utility vehicle in a robbery -- police say Shepard rammed the Flex into the front of a gun shop, then fled when the alarm sounded -- Shepard and an accomplice took the car to McDonald's.

Police say a security camera spotted Shepard and his suspected partner, a 20-year-old who was arrested Monday, in Kinder's car at the drive through window at the McDonald's on Broadway in Cape.

The pair then, police say, drove the car back to an address listed as Shepard's home, fetched two cans of gasoline, and took the car north of the city limits, where a state trooper later found it engulfed in flames.

This is not Shepard's first run-in with the law. In February, he pleaded guilty to drug charges. In December, less than two months after he turned 18, he pleaded guilty to burglary charges.
