A woman stole a police car while her
husband was handcuffed in the back seat,
officers said.
Amber Watford, 28, allegedly slipped into the
patrol car and drove off while the officer was
engaged with a passing motorist, according
to a police report.
Mirror reports that,authorities in Alaska
found the car not far from where it was
stolen in Big Lake.
Watford and husband Joshua, 38, were
arrested the following day in a home about
45 miles north of Anchorage in Wasilla, the
report said.
Joshua Watford had been first arrested for
failure to appear at court-ordered, alcohol-
related classes from a previous driving under
the influence charge, State Trooper
spokeswoman Megan Peters said.
It was not long after his arrest that Watford's
wife made off with the patrol car and the
couple remained at-large for about 30 hours.
Amber Watford now faces several charges
including theft and hindering prosecution,
troopers said on Friday.
