A 13-year old Crestview girl is charged with grand theft auto and being a principle to grand theft auto after OCSO investigators say she stole her grandmother’s car and later attempted to take another vehicle left running in a driveway.
Velta Chesser was arrested by the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office October 31st.
Deputies say Chesser first took her grandmother’s $25,000 Chevy Impala from Overview Drive on October 30th. Chesser told deputies she then picked up her boyfriend, 15-year old Jerome Couch, and the pair drove around the rest of the night.
The car was ultimately found on McClelland Street the next morning around 8:00 a.m. Chesser was located nearby with the keys.
During her interview with deputies, Chesser said while driving her grandmother’s car she and a friend had attempted to steal another vehicle that had been left running unoccupied in a driveway on North Brooks Drive around 6:20 p.m. October 30th.
They fled the scene after the homeowner came out and confronted the pair.
The investigation remains active.
