BANGOR, Maine — A Bangor woman was arrested Friday after she allegedly stole a car from a man she had met the day before.

Heather Jones, 26, has been charged with Class C felony authorized use of property, which carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison, a fine of up to $5,000 or both, Bangor police Sgt. Paul Edwards said Monday, citing an arrest report.

At the time of her arrest, Jones was wanted on an active warrant, Edwards said.

According to the arrest report, a Bangor man reported that he had met Jones on Thursday and invited her to stay at his home. He said she was with him on Friday when he went to an appointment on Griffin Road. When he came out about 20 minutes later, Jones — and his gold 2000 Mercedes — were gone.

The man thought she might have gone to Hudson, which is where Maine State Police Trooper Brian Bean found her and the car, Edwards said. The car was towed back to the Bangor police station and then returned to its owner.

Jones was arrested and taken to Penobscot County Jail, where she remained Monday night, a jail official said.

  1. Hey, I just met you….and this is crazy….so stay at my place and steal my car, maybe?

    1. The appointment on Griffin road and a gold Mercedes?  What is wrong with this picture?

      1. Not many places on Griffin Rd to keep an appointment . If it’s a business establishment it’s either the car dealer, the caterer, or the Big Red Giveaway House. At least he got a sleepover out of the deal. Perhaps his appointment had to do with upgrading the Mercedes to a newer model.

  2. Authorized use of property?  If it’s authorized what’s the problem?  Also, seriously folks, a lot of the people in the police news these days are poster children for WHY drugs are bad m’kay?

  3. She looks like she has had a rough life already at 26 – why do that to yourself?  Honestly asking, not judging…. I just don’t understand!

    1. Drugs will do that to ya.  You can be 25 and look 55.  “My decisions don’t hurt anyone else.”  Maybe not, but you’re only hurting yourself in the end! 

        1. Maybe five years and six thousand fewer doses of drugs ago.  But now she just looks like a washed up former shell of herself.  SAD!

  4. The loss of his vehicle is the least of his problems. He’s going to lose the use of a much more important accessory soon. (Probably a good thing for the health of the “herd”).

  5. Holy Shnikes! The guy probably woke up and realized what he had just slept with and decided to get to the clinic on the Griffin road to get checked out!!! Wonder what back alley he pulled this lucky lady from….lol. Drugs????? Naw not her………

      1. Could have get her at U-Stabb-Em’s…oh, wait, what is it called now?  Ultra Lounge 103 or something as equally ridiculous!

    1. It could be if we don’t do something about what goes in the world around us soon. Most people just bury their heads in the sand or pretend there isn’t a problem and refer to the problems we see as “diversity” and we should embrace it. There is a limit to everything.

  6. not even with the thickest of beer goggles would I invite this one to come home with me. HOLY.
