A 45-year-old Warrenton man and a 37-year-old Imperial woman were arrested in Imperial after they allegedly were found in a 2015 Nissan Sentra that had been reported stolen out of Carlinville, Ill., the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office reported.
A deputy saw the car just before noon on Nov. 1 traveling on Frisco Hill Road, and after checking the license plate, discovered the vehicle had been reported stolen. The deputy stopped the car in the 2800 block of Stonemont Court in Imperial, the report said.
The man and woman were arrested and taken to the Jefferson County Jail in Hillsboro, where they were booked and released pending application for warrants. The Sheriff’s Office will seek tampering charges against both the man and woman through the Jefferson County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, spokesman Grant Bissell said.
