Evansville Police Department officials say a woman has been placed under arrest after she claims a well-known music artist told her to steal a car that had a child inside.
According to an affidavit, police were dispatched to the 2000 block of North Main Street in response to a woman trying to get into random vehicles parked outside businesses.
Officials say the suspect, later identified as Ricki Smith, tried getting into a woman’s vehicle when the woman was going into a store.
When police asked Smith why she tried to take the car, she said that Kanye West spoke to her telegraphically and told her to steal it.
She is being charged with Attempted Kidnapping and Attempted Auto Theft.
