We guess this guy really wanted to meet Simon Cowell.
An aspiring singer who hoped to attend a second audition of The X Factor has been arrested for stealing a car in Slidell, La., and leading cops on a high speed chase.
Detective Daniel Seuzeneau of the Slidell Police Department tells E! News that the theft occurred around 8:15 p.m. Tuesday night when 20-year-old Orrion Wilson jumped into a Pontiac Grand Prix left running by a man who went into a gas station.
Wilson then fled in the vehicle, but cops quickly gave chase after the victim called 911, at which point the Florida native rammed a police cruiser as he hit speeds in excess of 75 miles per hour along the Interstate before eventually stopping and making a run for it.
He was subsequently apprehended and later told police that he was anxious to get home because he performed well at The X Factor auditions in New Orleans and was asked to return next week in New York.
Wilson was booked into jail on charges of aggravated assault on a police officer, theft of a motor vehicle, theft of over $500, criminal damage, resisting an officer and aggravated flight from an officer.
A rep for Fox was unavailable for comment.
