GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Lindsey Louise Kirkman, 27, was arrested early yesterday morning and charged with grand theft of a vehicle after allegedly stealing a medical transport van at Shands.

Kirkman was reportedly leaving UF Health Shands Hospital at about 4:30 a.m. yesterday when she saw a medical transport van that had been left unlocked, with the rear doors open, while the medical transport staff went to get a patient.

Kirkman allegedly closed the back doors of the vehicle, got in, and drove away. Security staff at the hospital saw her entering the vehicle and unsuccessfully tried to stop her.
