DEL CITY, Okla.
--
A woman is in the Oklahoma County jail after allegedly stealing an ambulance early Friday.
State troopers said Mindy Jones, 28, took the $120,000 emergency vehicle from Shawnee Regional Medical Center. Jones was at the hospital undergoing a blood test after she was arrested for a hit-and-run crash earlier in the night, authorities said.
A trooper spotted the stolen ambulance east of Oklahoma City and tried to pull over Jones.
The short chase ended when Jones parked the ambulance in the front yard at a house. Troopers said Jones was trying to find her ex-boyfriend.
Jones admitted to Eyewitness News Five that she took the ambulance.
"I had the ambulance and I had a pretty good time driving it," Jones said.
Jones faces several charges. No one was hurt and the ambulance was not damaged.
