DECATUR â A Decatur woman charged by police with possession of a stolen vehicle is quoted as saying she went through a frightening back alley sales deal in Chicago with her boyfriend to buy the car.
Decatur police said the 27-year-old woman had been stopped driving the bright green Dodge Challenger in Decatur on Jan. 8, 11 days after the vehicle â valued at $30,000 â had been reported stolen by the Lansing Police Department. A sworn affidavit signed by Decatur Police Detective Chad Ramey said the woman claimed at first she knew nothing about the vehicle being stolen and that she was only driving it after it was left at her house by friends who were out driving her car.
