City-Times Staff
A Portage County man is in jail today after authorities say he stole and crashed two cars from different residences.
Jonathan Bubla, 22, was arrested Thursday morning without incident around 5:30 AM. Authorities allege Bubla crashed one stolen vehicle on HH near Riverview Drive, and got another vehicle, later determined to have been stolen in Marathon County, stuck in a ditch on County Highway M.
Bubla was arrested after deputies found Bubla inside an unlocked garage on County Highway HH in the Village of Whiting, where authorities suspect he was in the process of stealing a third vehicle.
Other than the car thefts, Bubla is also being charged with his 3rd OWI and possession of marijuana.
