On January 23, 2022, at approximately 12:20 a.m., a Central District General Patrol unit was in the area of William Avenue and McPhillips Street when they observed a black SUV (with no licence plates) driving at a high rate of speed.
Officers were aware that a similar vehicle had been reported stolen earlier days earlier, and the driver of the SUV attempted to evade police by making quick turns and continuing to drive at a high rate of speed.
The vehicle was followed until it stopped at William Avenue and Lark Street, and the female driver was taken into custody. A .22 calibre rifle was seized from the vehicle, while a .22 calibre magazine and a bullet were seized from the driver.
The female attempted to lie about her name but was found to have a warrant for the suspension of her statutory release.
It was confirmed that SUV had been stolen from the Central Park area between January 20-21, 2022, and the vehicle’s licence plates have not yet been recovered.
