A woman was arrested after stealing a Red Bull box truck and leading deputies on a pursuit across Florida’s Hillsborough and Polk counties on Wednesday, May 6, police said.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) said the truck was stolen from a gas station on East Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Tampa, where the driver was making a delivery.
“The suspect, identified as 33-year-old Nicole Schular, drove east on I-4 toward Lakeland as our Aviation Unit tracked her from above,” the sheriff’s office said.
