MO Woman Drives Rig Through Fire Station Door

Oct. 6, 2023
The Windsor, MO fire engine sustained extensive damage in a crash.

A Missouri woman's joyride in a fire engine caused extensive damage not only to the rig but a firehouse as well.

Henry County sheriff's deputies received a report Wednesday about a fire truck being driven recklessly in Windsor.

'"As no fire calls had been dispatched, it was suspect that the fire truck had been taken without permission from the fire station in Windsor. Arriving on the scene, deputies located a female subject who had been driving the truck. The female attempted to escape by fleeing from the deputies, but was quickly apprehended," deputies wrote on the department's Facebook page.   

Deputies discovered the engine had been driven out of the closed firehouse door, causing extensive damage.

Jade R. Gibbs, 20, was charged with burglary, felony stealing, property damage and resisting arrest. Bond has been set at 100,000.00 and she remains in custody as of Thursday morning.
