BILLINGS — A 25-year-old Livingston woman has been found in the trunk of a car she is charged with stealing.

The Billings Gazette reports that police found the stolen car in Billings on Thursday. When the owner arrived to pick it up, she opened the trunk and jumped back, yelling for the police officer.

Police say a woman climbed out of the trunk while repeatedly saying that everything was OK. She told police she slept in the trunk instead of the back seat.

Court documents say a syringe in her purse tested positive for methamphetamine.

According to court records, the stolen car contained a pipe often used to smoke meth, credit cards and someone’s ID.

The woman was charged with theft and drug possession. Her next court date is Sept. 29.
