Woman Steals Truck at D-Q
During the early afternoon Tuesday, a woman claimed to have run out of gas at the Dairy Queen, and after some bystanders pushed her vehicle off the side of the road, it was reported she jumped into a truck in the Dairy Queen parking lot and drove off.
The victim saw her take his truck, but was unable to stop her. The Monticello Police Department (MPD) and the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO) were alerted and a chase ensued west on Hwy. 212 from town, and the stolen truck was stopped approximately seven miles west of town by Sheriff Charles Roper and two deputies with the JCSO.
The woman gave her name as Nicole Kraus, however, she was unable to produce any identification, and is currently incarcerated in the Jasper County Jail.
