West Bend, Wis.(WFRV)--A test drive went terribly wrong in southern Wisconsin.
    A salesman accompanied a couple to test drive a new pick-up truck.

    Soon after it started, the 39 year old man pulled out a knife and held it to the salesman's throat.

    The couple pulled over, forced the salesman out, and drove off.

    He eventually flagged down a motorist - and the search was on.

    Washington County Sheriff Dale Schmidt, "They were known. I don't know that they thought they were going to get away with it. I think it was just a matter of buying some time."

    The truck was eventually spotted at a hotel in Tampa, Florida.

    The suspects were arrested and they'll soon be brought back to Wisconsin to face charges.
