Missouri Woman Accused Of Stealing Police Cruiser

CROOKSTON, Minn. (AP) — Police say a Missouri woman stole one of their cruisers and crashed it in a ditch.

The incident began around 8:40 Sunday morning when University of North Dakota police were called to an apartment building in Grand Forks in response to calls of a drunken woman wandering the area.

While officers were searching for the woman, another woman stole their cruiser. She rolled it into a ditch near the University of Minnesota-Crookston campus at 9:22 a.m. The woman suffered minor injuries.

The Minnesota State Patrol said the woman is 23 years old and hails from Columbia, Missouri. She is not a student at UND.
