A woman stole a police car while her husband was handcuffed in the back seat, officers said.
Amber
Watford, 28, allegedly slipped into the patrol car and drove off while
the officer was engaged with a passing motorist, according to a police
report.
Mirror reports that,authorities in Alaska found the car not far from where it
was stolen in Big Lake.
Watford and husband Joshua, 38,
were arrested the following day in a home about 45 miles north of
Anchorage in Wasilla, the report said.
Joshua Watford had been first arrested for
failure to appear at court-ordered, alcohol-related classes from a
previous driving under the influence charge, State Trooper spokeswoman
Megan Peters said.
It was not long after his arrest that
Watford's wife made off with the patrol car and the couple remained
at-large for about 30 hours.
Amber Watford now faces several charges including theft and hindering prosecution, troopers said on Friday.
