MOORHEAD, Minn. – A woman accused of speeding away from police in a stolen pickup was arrested under a tarp in a gravel pit near Moorhead.

Police, deputies and the State Patrol responded to a call around 3:30 Thursday about a pickup driving the wrong way on westbound Interstate 94.

As authorities were trying to find the truck, a separate call came in about a similar truck that was stolen earlier in the 1900 block of 28th Avenue South in Moorhead.

Police eventually found the pickup they were searching for in the 2000 block of State Highway 336.

Authorities say the driver, who was still inside, then sped off and got stuck in a gravel pit.

The woman ran from the vehicle and tried to hide under a piece of tarp.

Authorities caught and arrested 39-year old Timberly Devereaux on suspicion of felony fleeing in a vehicle, fleeing on foot and possession of stolen property.
