After an investigating, officers found that a man found the suspect, later identified as Bryan K. Jacobs, 36 of Nampa, rummaging through his vehicle. When the victim confronted Jacobs, he pulled a knife ont he car owner and began chasing him down the street.

"When officers located the vehcile, inside they found evidence linking Jacobs to the theft of that vehicle."
