CHICAGO (AP) - A Chicago woman whose car has been locked up since the day five years ago when she loaned it to a friend who was arrested in it is finally back behind the wheel.
The Chicago Sun-Times (https://bit.ly/2oidT1y ) reports that Symone Smith was reunited Friday with her dusty 2010 Nissan Sentra in an impound lot on Chicago’s South Side.
Five years ago, a friend of hers was pulled over by police, who found a bag of suspected cocaine. Smith wasn’t charged and denies any involvement with the drugs but prosecutors put a hold on the vehicle.
Last month a judge allowed Smith to get it back - after she paid more than $3,200 in city fines. She showed up to lot armed with jumper cables, started the car and drove home.
