– Remember your parents telling you not to get in the car with a stranger? #strangerdanger Monday night that lesson was quickly remembered by a man that was greeted by several officers as he exited a convenience store. #whoawhatsgoingonhere It turns out that the nice girl he had just met and had asked him to take her to the store had a few secrets. The biggest one was that the car she had asked him to drive her in was actually stolen. #rollinstolen During the investigation, Officer Hom learned that the vehicle had been taken during a residential burglary in Arizona. Emalee Daleo was not only in possession of the stolen car, but she also had items in her possession from the residential burglary as well as some meth. #theresalwaysmeth #somuchmeth Emalee went to #CBDC and her new male friend got to go home. #lessonlearned
