WORCESTER, Mass. — A woman who allegedly stole a pickup truck, rammed a police cruiser and dragged an officer was arrested after placing an order at a Worcester McDonald’s drive-thru.
Now, 38-year-old Johanna Gardell is expected to be arraigned in Worcester District Court in connection with the dangerous and destructive drive that lasted for nearly two hours.
Police said Gardell stole a pickup truck, belonging to Raymond James Restoration, from a job site on Tuesday morning. Workers were in the process of unloading materials when they realized the truck had vanished.(snip)
Simoncini said all of his trucks are equipped with GPS. He was able to track the suspect’s whereabouts to relay her location to police.
“She went from Worcester to Grafton to Shrewsbury then back to Worcester,” Simoncini said. “Without the GPS, it would’ve been hard to track her down.”
Police said Gardell refused to stop for officers and shifted into reverse at one point, striking a police cruiser and dragging a detail officer 20 feet.
According to police, the suspect finally decided to stop to place an order at McDonald’s drive-thru on Shrewsbury Street.
“She did go through the drive-thru and ordered some chicken nuggets,” Simoncini said. “She said, ‘officer, this is my truck.’ They said, ‘ma’am, the owner is right here, and it says Raymond James Restoration on the side!’”

Looks guilty to me. Would Laz hit it?
One wonders if people like that have any friends, and what do they think?
So proud her parents must be.
Well, in her defense, Chicken McNuggets are pretty gosh darn delicious, ‘specially with that Chipotle BBQ sauce.
Her parents were MIA.
Man, that would make a heckuva commercial. “McNuggets - so delicious you’d steal a truck and try to kill a cop to get them!” I think I’d hire another model, though...
Laz would hit the crack of dawn.
Looking at her picture, I’d say she had McNuggets a few too many times in her life.
Who’s Dawn? And what does her crack look like?
If I were that ugly, i suppose I would throw caution to the wind
Chicken McTruckin’
She didn’t get Worcester sauce?
You win.
Flab.
I read the headline and wondered why anyone would steal a truck driver,,,,
Remember, Boys, never leave the keys in the engine and walk away, even when you can still see the truck. Some nutty Gal like this one may just hop in, know how to handle a stick shift and drive off. Maybe that’s the only way she can get a bunch of men paying attention to her!
Well, as Janet Reno once said: The System Worked!”
She needs to back away from the nuggets.
Well, she probably worked up an appetite, what with her busy morning and all.
Meth is a hell of drug.
