The reporting officer explained how a Hyndai Santa Fe with damage to the right driver’s side “paid unusually close attention” to the officer as the driver passed. When the officer checked the vehicle’s tag, it was listed as stolen.

The man, who was driving the vehicle, claimed a person named “Beau Mitchell” allowed him to use the vehicle. Stephanie denied knowing the vehicle was stolen.

In the original incident report, the reporting victim indicated an unknown person stole her vehicle while it was parked at a friend’s house. The report contradicted the man’s claims.

Inside the vehicle, officers found a small digital scale, a piece of paper with the writing “30 perc 10’s for $180, 30 Somas for $60, 4 Bars for $20, 2R’s for $40 = $300,” which appears to be the prices of various pills.

In a narrative from another officer, he asked if Stephanie had any weapons or sharp objects on her. She responded that she “had a safety pin on her left bra strap and might have a small blade in her bra.” A small black knife was removed from under the left breast.

She was arrested, along with the man, and held on $5,000 bond. She flashed a smile in her mugshot.

In court papers obtained from Cobb County Superior Court, Stephanie was charged with one count of theft by receiving stolen property, one count of violation of unlawfully possessing and having under her control a controlled substance, Oxycodone, and a final count of unlawfully possessing and having under her control a controlled substance, Methamphetamine.
