A woman was booked into Pima County Jail for driving on a suspended license, having no identification and having no insurance Oct. 2 after police pulled her over on East Ninth Street and North Campbell Avenue, report stated.

Police noticed that the steering wheel column on the truck was broken apart. The paneling around the ignition was also broken.

The truck was not registered to the woman, and police asked her who the owner of the truck was.

The woman said, "I don't know who owns the vehicle, and I didn't notice the steering column broke," report stated.

The woman said a man named Rusty had given her the truck and told her to take it to a man she didn't know.

The woman said the damage to the vehicle had been done a while ago and was partially caused by the owner.
