Alabama woman locked out of car gets locked up instead

An Alabama woman who tried to get sheriff’s deputies to unlock her car has landed up locked up.

Citing court records, the Montgomery Advertiser reports 30-year-old Kimberly DeShun Gardner pleaded guilty to filing a false report Tuesday. According to Autauga County Sheriff’s Office records, Gardner had requested a deputy unlock her vehicle on May 27, but the dispatcher told her that wasn’t part of the sheriff’s office’s duties.

Around 15 minutes later, she called back to report a vehicle break-in.

The report says when a deputy arrived, she asked him to unlock the car and was subsequently arrested.

Gardner received a 365-day sentence, suspended to serve 10 days, and two years’ unsupervised probation.

She also must pay a $100 fine and court costs.

Her attorney, Kim Kervin, declined comment.
