Half-Naked Woman Arrested in California for Stealing Semi-Truck and Trailer
A half-naked woman was arrested last week in California after police claim she allegedly stole a Sysco semi-truck and its trailer right from under its driver.
Makayla Ballewansiel, 28, was said to be bottomless on Wednesday, January 14, when cops claim she hopped into a big rig that had been parked outside a Tru By Hilton hotel in Manteca.
The truck’s driver, according to police, was making a food delivery to the hotel at the time of the alleged vehicle theft.
According to Manteca Police, the truck’s engine had been switched off, and the driver of the truck had the key with him in his pocket. However, once inside, Ballewansiel allegedly rummaged through a bag she found in his truck and unearthed a spare key to the semi.
The driver told police he was still in the truck’s trailer, loading up food onto a dolly, when it started to lurch forward. The driver told police that he jumped from the trailer, and in the process sustained minor, unspecified injuries, police have claimed.
The driver could do nothing but watch his semi-truck and trailer grow smaller as it traveled further away. He did have his phone and called 911 to report the vehicle’s theft. Within minutes, officers were able to track down the semi-truck and trailer as it was headed southbound on Highway 99 near the Main Street Ripon exit, police said.
An Iowa convenience store was the setting for an incredible scene that unfolded last month and involved a naked woman who police allege went on a destructive frenzy that resulted in thousands of dollars in damage. Business as usual at Casey’s General Store in Mason City was interrupted back on December 19, when a stark-naked […]
According to investigators, Ballewansiel decided to stop the truck in the middle of the roadway and then jumped out. She allegedly ignored commands from police to stop and started taking off. She didn’t get far though. As she was running from the scene, a K9 was dispatched to catch her. And catch her, it did.
Ballewansiel was wearing a shirt at the time of her arrest but no pants or underwear. She allegedly sustained bite marks to her buttocks after the dog latched on to take her down. Police said that she also defecated at the scene.
It was unclear where Ballewansiel lives, but police noted she had an outstanding arrest warrant for burglary and auto theft out of Fresno County. The warrant was issued on November 6, police said.
“This highlights the problem of repeat offenders committing more crimes due to being released” and not held in custody, the police expressed in a statement. “This could have resulted in a dangerous ending had she tried to flee in that semi-truck and trailer that ranges in weight between 35,000 pounds (unloaded) and the federal limit of 80,000 (loaded).”
It was unclear why she was half-dressed. Attempts to reach her via phone and social media on Tuesday, January 20, were fruitless.
Ballewansiel was charged with felony vehicle theft, possession of a stolen vehicle, obstruction of a public officer, and burglary. It was unclear Tuesday if she had entered pleas to the charges or had an attorney who could comment for her.
The Manteca Police Department requests that any witnesses to the theft who were not already interviewed by police call the Manteca Police Department at (209) 456-8101. Reference case number 26-00225 when you call.
