Driving A Stolen Car To Court, Not A Good Idea

Here is some more crazy news from my home state!

Going to pay your traffic ticket is a good idea, as long as you don't drive a stolen car to court to pay it!

In Manning, South Carolina, Clarendon County deputies got a call that tipped them off that Amber Renee Helton would be driving a stolen car when she appeared at court to pay her ticket.

When Helton showed up, sure enough, she was in a stolen car.  When she opened the door of the 2001 Dodge Intrepid cops moved in and immediately arrested her.

Helton, who is 21 years old, and a 35 year old passenger in the car were charged with being in posssession of the stolen vehicle.  The car had been stolen on August 28th in Tennessee.

Helton was no stranger to the court.  She's really working on building a solid criminal record it seems.  A week prior to her arrest she had appeared in court and was acquitted of possession of a stolen tag and convicted of driving without a license.

I wonder if she will be lucky in court again and be acquitted of driving the stolen car?
