OKLAHOMA CITY — Authorities arrested a woman Friday morning after she allegedly stole an ambulance from St. Anthony Hospital in midtown and led state troopers on a short pursuit.

Dasha West, 36, was arrested and booked into the Canadian County Jail after she hijacked an empty ambulance and led authorities on a chase down the Kilpatrick Turnpike.

West’s mother told KOCO that her daughter has mental issues. “I want people to understand that this is not Dasha, she is not a criminal,” her mother said.
