A Posey County police car was stolen and the woman that allegedly did it is sitting in jail facing a list of charges.
It happened on Sunday afternoon when Mt. Vernon officers responded to a breaking and entering call in the 500 block of East Water Street.
Officers say they found 26 year old Samantha Billings inside the home.
She was cuffed and put in the back of the police car.
Billings broke free from the handcuffs, pried open the window and got in the front seat.
She drove off, but didn’t get very far as police caught up with her after she crashed into a field.
