An Oklahoma woman found herself in custody after reportedly crashing a stolen SUV into her former boyfriend’s residence.
Anabel Torres, 24, was apprehended by the Tulsa Police Department early Sunday morning. She is accused of taking an SUV belonging to her ex-boyfriend’s current girlfriend and deliberately driving it into his home. According to the police, the couple and the woman’s two children were inside the home during the incident. However, authorities have not disclosed if there were any injuries. In a Facebook post, officers described Torres as being “angry” when she arrived at her ex-boyfriend’s home and began behaving erratically.
Tulsa police reported that officers were dispatched to the residence at 5:39 a.m. on Sunday following a call about an “unknown trouble.” Upon arrival, officers heard screams coming from the house and observed a vehicle that had been driven straight through the front of the building.
Investigations revealed that the homeowner was Torres’ former boyfriend. The previous night, his current girlfriend and her two young children had come over for a visit. At some point, Torres, described by police as the “angry ex-girlfriend,” appeared at the home and started behaving unpredictably. She allegedly obtained the new girlfriend’s car keys “without permission” and took control of the red SUV.
Authorities stated that before crashing into the house, Torres collided with two parked vehicles.
When police arrived, officers heard Torres say she “intended to drive over anyone there.” When officers tried to arrest her, she apparently “wasn’t happy about it” and “fought with the officers a little bit,” according to authorities.
Torres was charged with assault with a deadly weapon, assault and battery on a police officer, malicious mischief, larceny of an automobile, and resisting arrest. Because she is a member of the Muscogee Nation, Torres’ case will be turned over to the FBI and tribal authorities for the remainder of the investigation. She is currently in custody at the Tulsa County Jail. Her next court date was not immediately available.
