An Indiana woman allegedly committed car theft to attend a job interview as a stripper, displaying a lack of remorse when confronted by authorities. Kasia Shelton, a 20-year-old resident, treated the situation as a joke and failed to comprehend the reason for her arrest, stated Muncie Police Department. After receiving a complaint about the theft of a 2013 Kia Optima from a Muncie dealership on Monday, WTTV reports. An employee explained their intent to arrange for Shelton to test drive the vehicle, yet constant phone interruptions caused them to step away momentarily. Strikingly, no one spoke on the other end of the calls.
According to the Messenger, the employee instructed Shelton to wait while they answered another phone call. Exploiting the opportunity, Shelton allegedly decided to drive away in the Kia. Surveillance cameras confirmed the vehicle’s identity, directly linking it to Shelton who had previously completed an online form on the dealership’s website. The footage captured the car heading towards Indianapolis and later returning to Muncie. Police arrived at Shelton’s residence where she initially provided false identification. She eventually confessed to stealing the car and driving approximately 60 miles to Indianapolis for her interview as an exotic dancer. Shelton justified her actions, arguing that her subsequent return of the vehicle to the dealership negated any wrongdoing, as stated in court documents.
According to available records, Shelton abandoned the vehicle, keys inside, in an adjacent parking lot near RDI Motors dealership. However, an RDI Motors employee reported the car was ultimately located in Anderson, approximately 20 miles away from Muncie. Shelton allegedly claimed ignorance about the car’s fate after she left it, but claimed to have seen it on someone’s Snapchat. She was arrested on charges of felony auto theft and identity deception. If convicted, she faces a prison sentence of up to 2.5 years. Authorities have not revealed the identity of the person making the calls to the dealership. (Read more theft stories.)
