Woman wanted on warrant for CT vehicle theft allegedly attempts to flee from state police at court
Troopers at 2:13 p.m. responded to Manchester Superior Court after learning that a woman there had a warrant out for her arrest, according to Connecticut State Police.
While taking the suspect into custody — who was identified as 25-year-old Jada Williams of Worcester, Massachusetts — she reportedly ran from troopers and tried getting into a vehicle, state police said. She was brought out of the vehicle before she could get away, at which point she continued resisting troopers, according to state police.
Williams was arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit fourth-degree larceny, conspiracy to commit third-degree criminal mischief, conspiracy to commit receipt from illegal use of credit card and interfering with an officer.
According to state police, the warrant out for her arrest stemmed from an incident in October 2024 when she allegedly broke into a vehicle and stole several things from inside. The stolen items included several credit and debit cards, which state police allege Williams used to rack up more than $1,000 in charges.
Williams was held on bonds totaling $100,000 and was expected to be arraigned Tuesday in Rockville Superior Court.

Uber says some sexual assault accusers submitted fake receipts
By Jonathan Stempel (Reuters) -Uber said it found more than 100 instances in which passengers who claimed its drivers sexually assaulted or harassed them offered bogus or doctored receipts to prove ridership, or did not explain their inability to provide receipts. In a Wednesday court filing, Uber urged U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer in San Francisco to order 21 plaintiffs with suspect receipts to justify why their claims should not be dismissed, and 90 plaintiffs to provide receipts or "non-boilerplate" reasons for their absence. At least 11 law firms represent the various plaintiffs, court papers show. Those firms had no immediate comment or did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Thursday. They were not accused of wrongdoing. Uber is trying to reduce its liability in nationwide federal litigation comprising more than 2,450 lawsuits alleging driver misconduct. It faces several hundred additional lawsuits in San Francisco Superior Court. The San Francisco-based company has maintained it should not be liable for criminal conduct by drivers it connects with passengers, and that its background checks and disclosures were sufficient. On July 8, Breyer dismissed some fraud and liability claims that were based on ads promoting Uber's ride-sharing service as a safe alternative to drunk driving. In Wednesday's filing, Uber said some fake receipts appear to have been generated through third-party websites. Uber said some receipts contained math errors or bogus surcharges, changed female driver names to male names, were timestamped before rides occurred, had stray marks, or used formatting that does not match its own. One plaintiff submitted two receipts for a single ride, while two plaintiffs submitted different versions of the same receipt, the company said. "Nothing is more critical to the integrity of our judicial system than honesty," Uber said. "It is difficult to conceive an act of misconduct graver than the outright fabrication of evidence that plaintiffs here undertook." The case is In re Uber Technologies Inc Passenger Sexual Assault Litigation, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, No. 23-03084.
