Police: Woman Arrested For Stealing City-Owned Truck After Telling Employees She Was Going To Urinate Between Vehicles
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A woman was arrested Tuesday after police say she stole a city vehicle in front of Streets Department employees. Thirty-three-year-old Amanda Bonner has been charged with theft and other related charges.
According to police, a Philadelphia Streets employee was setting up a work site at 1216 Walnut St. around 8:37 p.m. Tuesday when Bonner told city employees that she had to "pee" and was going to urinate in between their trucks.
Instead, she got into one of the vehicles, a 2014 Ford F-350 pickup truck that is owned by the city, and drove off westbound on Walnut Street.
