An Upstate New York woman has been arrested on stolen vehicle and fugitive charges.<\/p>\n

Dakota Root, 24, of Lyons, N.Y., is accused of stealing a 2021 Nissan Rogue in Tioga County, Pennsylvania. New York State Police said they were notified Monday of an active out-of-state warrant and that she was believed to be operating the stolen SUV in Wayne County.<\/p>\n

Police did not release additional details.<\/p>\n
