A woman was arrested after allegedly stealing a vehicle, crashing it into a basketball hoop and tree, and then taking a shower in a stranger’s home.
It was just after 6 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 19, when LaPorte County deputies were called to the 200 block of Greenlawn Drive following reports of a single-vehicle crash. The homeowner informed authorities that the driver, who had been nude, entered her home and was showering.
Police arrived to find a 2007 BMW crashed into a tree, with damage also reported to a basketball hoop. The homeowner confirmed the driver did not live at the residence.
They found the driver, Michelle N. Reeves, 37, of LaPorte. Reeves walked out of the locked bathroom wrapped in a towel.
Investigators say Reeves stole the idling BMW from a nearby home before crashing it.
She was taken into custody and transported to a hospital for medical clearance before being booked into LaPorte County Jail.
Reeves faces multiple charges, including:
Theft
Unauthorized Entry of a Vehicle Used in a Crime
Criminal Mischief
Public Nudity
She was jailed on a $755 cash-only bond.

Pictures or it didn’t happen. Also, call ICE just in case. Also, drugs are bad, M’kay?
