A West Virginia woman was charged after investigators said she left a 5-year-old child unattended while she allegedly attempted to steal a vehicle.
According to the authorities, the investigation began after the owner of a vehicle called to report that a woman had allegedly gotten inside the vehicle and tried to take it. The caller reportedly told investigators that the woman appeared disoriented, had trouble standing upright, and seemed unsteady.
Before the authorities arrived, the woman had reportedly left the area and walked about a mile toward a nearby gas station. Investigators later located her and asked for her identity. According to the authorities, she denied being the person they were looking for, but they were able to confirm who she was.
