A Wellman woman was arrested on a felony charge Monday after burning a vehicle’s registration and damaging property.
On Monday, just before 3 p.m. the Washington County Sheriff’s Office arrested 35-year-old Sheyenne Chambers of Wellman on one count of second degree criminal mischief, a class D felony.
According to court records, deputies responded to the 600 block of 4th Street in Wellman to a report of a vehicle that was taken without permission. Upon arriving at the residence, deputies found Chambers in the car and witnessed Chambers leaning out the driver’s door burning the vehicle’s registration and bill of sale. Upon further investigation it was found that she broke two sun visors, the vehicle’s gear shift, and center console area, and had also burnt a spot in the driver’s door with a lighter and also keyed the car.
The estimated cost of repairs is $5,950. When asked by deputies, Chambers admitted to causing the damages.
