Two workers were outside watched the former employee drive up the ramp. After his joyride, Cook then parked his cycle and began driving a forklift for a few seconds, according to WBAY.

Police arrived and arrested Cook, as he was about to leave on his motorcycle. he did turn it off when they arrived.
