La Porte, IN – A 37-year-old woman was arrested Sunday evening after allegedly stealing a car, crashing it into a basketball hoop and a tree, and then entering a stranger’s home to take a shower.

The La Porte County Sheriff’s Office reported that deputies were dispatched around 6 p.m. to the 200 block of Greenlawn Drive following reports of a single-vehicle crash. Authorities say Michelle N. Reeves, of La Porte, stole a silver 2007 BMW that had been left idling in a nearby driveway. Shortly after, Reeves lost control of the vehicle, striking a basketball hoop before crashing head-on into a tree.

When deputies arrived, the homeowner informed them that a nude woman had entered their home and locked herself in the bathroom. Deputy Xavier Biggerstaff found Reeves inside the bathroom showering. Reeves exited wrapped in a towel and was taken into custody.

She was transported to a hospital for medical clearance before being booked into the La Porte County Jail. Reeves faces charges of theft, unauthorized entry of a vehicle, criminal mischief, and public nudity. She remains in custody on a $755 cash-only bond.
