Laramie County Sheriff’s deputies arrested two women after one of them managed to bypass a safety feature on a patrol vehicle and steal it, the agency reported Thursday.
At about 5:13 p.m. Wednesday, the Laramie County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report that someone had stolen a white Ford F-250 truck from the 800 block of South Greeley Highway in Cheyenne.
Witnesses believed one person, later identified as Mandy Miller, had stolen the vehicle, says a statement LCSO reported Thursday to its Facebook page.
Deputies tracked the truck using its own internal tracking device to the Horse Creek Road area off Interstate 25 and made contact with the driver, later identified as Tianna Quin. Then she led them on a chase into the Scenic Ridge Drive area, the statement says.
There, the F-250’s rear tire blew out and it stopped, says the statement.
That’s when Quin got out of the truck and fled toward a home on foot.
Deputies worried that if she made it to the home, “she may commit additional crimes,” the report says
