Police officers responded to the Talcott area concerning an alleged stolen vehicle on Sunday, Oct. 9. The suspect was identified as Rebecca Mae Vines, 23, of Talcott.
According to the criminal complaint, the officer arrived and spoke with the victim, who said they woke up to find the car missing. Allegedly, the victim also discovered blood in the house. The trail began on the outside steps and led to where the keys were.
After talking with the victim, the officer spoke with several neighbors. One person reportedly stated that Vines had been arguing with them and that she was limping at the time. Another person at the same residence said they went to check on Vines and found her gone, the back door open, and blood on the floor, the criminal complaint states. A different neighbor allegedly noted that they had seen Vines carrying a boot, and one foot appeared wrapped. The same person also reportedly saw Vines walking around the stolen vehicle and shortly after saw the same truck leaving.
The criminal complaint states that the officer located the stolen property at a residence in Pence Springs. The property owner reportedly said that a woman had driven up in the vehicle and appeared to be bleeding from her foot. Further, the property owner believed the woman’s name to be Rebecca and advised her to leave the premises. Allegedly, Vines threw the keys down but retrieved them before taking off on foot.
Vines has since been arrested. At the time of writing, she remains in Southern Regional Jail on a $40,000 bond. According to the jail records, she is facing charges of Burglary and Grand Larceny.
