A Bridgeport woman has turned herself into Westport police, almost 20 years after she was accused of stealing a rental car.
Police responded to Avis Rental Cars back in September 2002 for a report that a rented car was never returned. At the time, the store’s manager said the car was rented to Michelle Kinner in early August, but hadn’t returned it by Sept. 5 of that year. A letter was sent to Kinner, asking she return the car, police said.
“Since the vehicle was a month overdue and efforts to recover it from Ms. Kinner were not successful, the car was deemed to be stolen,” Lt. David Wolf said. “Therefore, a warrant for Ms. Kinner’s arrest was completed and signed by a Superior Court judge.”
