An Idaho woman was arrested Monday after investigators said she stole an ambulance and drove it into a building housing Department of Homeland Security offices in an alleged attempt to set it on fire.
Sarah Elizabeth George, 43, of Boise, is accused of stealing a Canyon County Paramedics ambulance from outside St. Luke’s Meridian around 11 p.m. on Feb. 18, crashing it through the entrance of the Portico North building and pouring gasoline across the lobby floor before fleeing on foot, according to a federal criminal complaint.
Authorities identified George after what Meridian Police Chief Tracy Basterrechea described as five days of "good old-fashioned police work," including canvassing businesses for surveillance footage and tracking vehicle records.
George faces federal charges of malicious destruction of government property by fire and malicious destruction of property used in or affecting interstate commerce, according to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho. Each charge carries a potential penalty of five to 20 years in prison, prosecutors said.

Officer: “You look a little different than the photo here.”
Woman: “After I lost in the Miss Idaho pageant I got depressed and drank a lot of booze and ate too much. Coping.”
Ha. Either would work for her, I'm sure.
Thanks!
