ELKTON, Md. (AP) - Authorities say a woman suspected of stealing a car from a Delaware gas station last month while a young boy was inside has been arrested in Maryland.
Delaware State Police said in a statement Friday that 31-year-old Amy Davis was taken into custody without incident at a motel in Elkton. She’s facing charges in connection with the car theft at a Claymont Wawa.
