Police pull over a woman, only to have her steal their car
Police pulled over Sylvia Castillo after she ran into another car.
Officers say she was drunk. They arrested her and put her in the back of a patrol car.
While officers continued to investigate the accident, Castillo climbed through plexiglass, got into the front seat and then actually took off with the car.
An off-duty Border Patrol agent caught up with her and police arrested her a second time.
Castillo denies the whole thing and said she was not drunk at the time.
A judge didn’t believe her. She’s now charged with DWI, escape, and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
