Clarinda Police Chief Keith Brothers reports a woman from Missouri was arrested Thursday following an investigation into a stolen vehicle. Brothers says 23-year old Alexandria Gabrielle Miller, of St. Joseph Missouri, was arrested at around 3:15-p.m., for possession of a stolen vehicle, possession of a controlled substance (believed to be methamphetamine), possession of burglary tools and resisting arrest.

Miller was taken into custody after she was observed driving a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup in the 1100 block of South 16^th St. The truck had been reported as stolen earlier in the week. At the time of her arrest, Miller was in possession of a small amount of methamphetamine and briefly struggled with officers during the arrest. Miller was also in possession of tools that are believed to have been used in a recent burglary.

The woman was being held in the Page County Jail on $9,300 bail pending initial appearance before the court. The Clarinda Police Department was assisted by the Page County Sheriff’s Department with the arrest of Miller. All reports will be forwarded to the office of Page County Attorney Carl Sonksen for review and the filing of formal charges in Page County District Court.
