Woman Arrested After Allegedly Stealing Ambulance From Good Charlotte Show
Police say 24-year-old Grace Vicente drove a Phoenix Fire ambulance away from the venue before crashing it into a pickup truck and a wall
A 24-year-old woman was arrested Thursday night after allegedly stealing an ambulance parked outside a Good Charlotte concert in Phoenix, Arizona, then crashing it less than two miles from the venue.
Good Charlotte and Avenged Sevenfold performed together at Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre that evening. According to Fox 5, police booked corrections officer Grace Vicente on theft and DUI charges, alleging she got into the driver's seat of a Phoenix Fire ambulance and drove off with it before hitting a pickup truck.
The truck's driver was reportedly uninjured, and so was a man who had already been placed inside the ambulance. The vehicle had been left running, though its keys were not inside, and paramedics only noticed it was missing when they went to retrieve a gurney from the back.
Officers later found the ambulance after it had struck both the truck and a wall, with Vicente passed out behind the wheel. At her first court appearance, her attorney said she had traveled to the city to see a concert and that the incident was "completely out of her normal nature." A judge set bond at $7,500.
Neither band has commented on the incident, which was unrelated to the show's production. The double bill was part of the two groups' ongoing run of joint dates.
