A stolen Ford Super Duty pickup became the center of a shocking incident at Sequoyah High School in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. The event unfolded after a woman, having parked her Ford Edge at Stuteville Ford of Tahlequah, brazenly stole the Super Duty truck from the dealership and made her way to the nearby school. Tahlequah Assistant Police Chief Dexter Scott recounted the series of events that led to the woman driving the stolen vehicle onto the high school’s football field, causing considerable damage by performing donuts on the turf.

The situation escalated as the thief, accompanied by her dog, fled the scene, igniting a pursuit by the Cherokee Nation Marshal Service. The chase continued onto U.S. Highway 62, with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol ultimately taking over and bringing the pursuit to an end in Muskogee, where the woman was taken into custody.
Despite being apprehended, the suspect remained silent about her motivations for the theft and the subsequent vandalism, leaving authorities and the community puzzled. This act of felony vandalism not only resulted in significant damage to the school’s property but also showcased the unpredictable nature of automotive theft and the broader implications it can have on public spaces and community resources.
The incident, reminiscent of a similar event involving a Ford Bronco at Petco Park two years prior, serves as a stark reminder of the challenges law enforcement and communities face in addressing and preventing such acts of senseless destruction. As the case proceeds, the community of Tahlequah is left to repair the damage and seek justice for the disruption caused to the students and faculty of Sequoyah High School.
