The 20-year-old reportedly told 911 that her 1998 grey Buick Century—which she was currently fleeing police in—had been stolen earlier in the day.
An Iowa woman fleeing police called 911 to report the car she was driving had been stolen from her.
While the deputy was in pursuit, a 911 call came in from a woman, Rachel Thornburg, who reportedly told the dispatcher that her 1998 gray Buick Century had been stolen earlier, after she left her keys in the car. One of the Stop Stick traps worked, as officers with the Iowa State Patrol managed to bring the car to a halt in Scott County. When they approached the car to ascertain the identity of the thief, they allegedly found that it was Rachel Thornburg herself. Police say Thornburg had made the 911 call in an attempt to throw cops off of her trail.Thornburg, 20, was taken into custody and charged with eluding police, driving with a suspended license, reckless driving and speeding.
