ND Woman Charged With Stealing 2 Vehicles from Ada
Ada, MN — An Oriska, ND woman is scheduled to make her first appearance in Norman County District Court next week after stealing two vehicles in the City of Ada this past month. Jessica Irene Poux, age 29, is being charged with two separate counts of Theft of a Motor Vehicle as well as Third Degree Burglary, all felony level crimes. The first incident occurred on September 15th when the Norman County Sheriff’s Office and Ada Police Department were dispatched to the Zeigler Ag Equipment on Highway 9 north of Ada for the report of a stolen 2017 Chevy Suburban. An individual matching Poux’s description was seen in the area and later by witnesses driving the vehicle into a farmyard near Gary the next day. The stolen vehicle was recovered by deputies later that day on one of trails at the Gary Pines. There was no apparent damage.
Then on September 24th, Norman County Sheriff Deputies responded to a suspicious person who had pulled into another farmstead in rural Gary and parked their vehicle behind a grove of trees. That individual was identified as Poux. The vehicle she was driving was a gray Chevy Impala with dealer plates. After being questioned by deputies, Poux admitted to breaking into a the Lee Brothers storage facility in Ada and stealing the vehicle.
According to documents, the defendant often gave unusual answers and said she was “told” to take the vehicles but never gave reference to specific people, indicating she may have been hearing voices inside her head.
Poux faces up to 15 years in prison for her charges. She is currently out on bail and will make her next appearance in court on October 12th.
