(KNOX) – A 35-year-old Fergus Falls woman was arrested for stealing a pickup truck and selling it to bail her boyfriend out of jail.
Jennifer Vold has been charged with theft and forgery in connection with a vehicle theft. The victim reported their pickup was stolen in April and that Vold was likely the person who took it. Prosecutors say the victim let Vold borrow the pickup to run errands, and Vold disappeared the next day with the vehicle and the title to the pickup.
Officials say that the vehicle was traded in to a dealership. Investigators learned that Vold had traded it for a different pickup and $10,000 dollars.
A day after the check from the dealership was issued, Vold’s boyfriend, Michael Johnson posted bail in Mille Lacs County. The victim had previously told police that Vold mentioned needing money to bail Johnson out of jail.
Vold was arrested when she and her boyfriend returned to the dealership.
Vold is facing several charges that could result in 55 years in prison and $160,000 in fines.
