A call to Red Oak Police early Wednesday morning about an aggressive driver, resulted in the arrest of a man and woman from Nebraska. Authorities say 19-year old Emily Kay Darrow, of Omaha, and 31-year old Michael Daniel McFadden, of Springfield, NE., were taken into custody on felony charges of Possession of Stolen Property in the 1st Degree, for the alleged theft of a vehicle valued at over $10,000. Both were being held in the Montgomery County Jail on $10,000 bond, each.

Officials say the Red Oak Police Department was notified at around 7:45-a.m. Wednesday about a motorist who was swerving in an aggressive fashion at other vehicles on Highway 34 eastbound, toward Red Oak. Officers stopped the vehicle, a 2010 Buick Enclave, at the intersection of Highway 34 and N. 4th Street, and soon discovered the license plates did not match the vehicle, and had been stolen out of Nebraska. A check of the SUV’s VIN determined that it had been stolen out of Omaha.

Red Oak Police were assisted Montgomery County Sheriff’s Deputies in conducting the arrests and investigation.
