NP Woman Jailed for Theft, Man Seriously Injured After Crashing Stolen Vehicle

A North Platte woman is in jail on theft charges following a series of events that ended with a North Platte man being flown to a Denver hospital.

At around 5:00 a.m., on April 25, officers with the North Platte Police Department responded to a reported theft in the 2400 block of East 2nd Street.

Police say a 55-year-old male alleged that his ex-roommate, 30-year-old Quannalyn Makesroomforthem, had moved out sometime during the night and, in the process, had stolen two flat-screen TVs valued at around $350.

At around 7:15 a.m., the same morning, an officer responded to a residence in the 300 block of South Tabor Street, on the report of a stolen vehicle.

The 36-year-old owner of the vehicle reported that, sometime during the night, his unsecured 1990 Mazda was stolen from in front of his house.

Officers later learned that the vehicle had been involved in a one-vehicle accident in Thomas County.

The occupants of the vehicle were identified as Makesroomforthem and 30-year-old Burgess Running Enemy.

Both were transported to Great Plains Health, before Running Enemy, who was identified as the driver of the vehicle, was transported to a Denver hospital.

On the morning of April 27, Makesroomforthem was released from the hospital and placed under arrest for the theft of the TVs.  Due to prior theft convictions, the charge was enhanced to a felony.

Authorities say Running Enemy’s condition is unknown.
