A Miami teen is accused of stealing a golf cart from a jail in South Florida and smashing it into a barricade and parked car.
She's being held on $5,000 bond.
NBC Miami picks up the story:
<i>Amanda Evans, 18, was charged with theft and was arrested on Tuesday.</i>
<i>She had been at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center picking up property, and upon leaving she took a golf cart and struck a barricade, the arrest affidavit said. She then hit an unoccupied, parked vehicle, the arrest affidavit said. Corrections officers were able to eventually detain her.</i>
<i>Evans' mother, Brenda Evans, said in a telephone interview that her daughter has schizophrenia and is bipolar, and has not taken her medication for about a month.</i>
<i>...</i>
<i>Evans, wearing an anti-suicide smock, refused to answer several questions from Venzer and her court-appointed attorney about whether she'd like to go to a hospital rather than a jail.</i>
