A Santa Rosa, California, woman was arrested for allegedly stealing her landlord’s airplane, then abandoning it in a field after it ran out of gas. Authorities said the 27-year-old woman had access to the Piper Cherokee because she had been borrowing it for piloting lessons. But she allegedly took the plane without permission Tuesday from a hangar at the Sonoma County Airport. Police said she landed it in a Modoc County ranch field when she ran out of gas. She then hiked to a nearby hotel to spend the night. Curious residents called authorities about the abandoned plane, and deputies arrested the woman the next morning on suspicion of grand theft and aircraft theft.
