Woman Charged With Stealing SUV With Three Kids Inside

Greene County prosecutors have charged a woman who stole an SUV in Springfield Tuesday night with three kids inside the vehicle.

22-year-old Mariha Hollingshead admitted taking the SUV from the Village Mart convenience store near Kearney and Fulbright in Springfield.

Court records say it began as Hollingshead and another man asked the driver questions inside the store.

When the man went back outside to get into his SUV, the man who was in the store with Hollingshead started making threats.

The two men got into a fight on the parking lot, and the SUV driver’s girlfriend also got out of the vehicle, leaving three kids in the backseat.

Police say that’s when Hollingshead jumped in the SUV and took off.

An eleven year-old boy jumped out of the moving vehicle.

Hollingshead told police she stopped at a Kum n’ Go store at Kearney and the West Bypass when she realized two more kids — ages four and five — were still inside.

She told police she was a meth addict and didn’t know why she took the car.

Hollingshead is also charged with stealing several items from Keith’s Auto Sales on East Kearney in September.
