A 36 year old female is facing a number of charges following an incident in which she was found in a stolen vehicle.

At approximately 8:26p.m., December 19, 2020, dispatch received a call of a possible impaired driver who was involved in a hit and run with another vehicle at Ave T N/30th St W. Officers located the vehicle stuck in a snow bank in the alley of Howell Ave. The driver of the vehicle refused to place the vehicle into park and kept her foot on the accelerator while stuck.
