Shalee Ann Youngbird, 21, Minot, is accused of driving at a high rate of speed in a stolen Camaro through Minot on Friday, crashing into another car and injuring another driver.

“She stole a souped up Camaro, drove it like a wild person, ran into someone and then took off on foot,” said Ward County Deputy State’s Attorney Todd Schwarz, who asked Judge Richard Hagar to set bond at $25,000 cash or corporate surety.

Schwarz noted that Youngbird was already out on bond in other cases when she allegedly committed this offense.

Youngbird is charged in district court in Minot with Class B felony possession of a stolen vehicle, Class C felony reckless endangerment, and Class A misdemeanor duty in accident involving an injury.

According to the probable cause affidavit filed with the court, Youngbird was driving a stolen white Chevrolet Camaro that T-boned another vehicle at 1800 4th Avenue NW on Friday. The other driver reported Youngbird ran through a stop sign at the intersection at a high rate of speed and crashed into his vehicle, which was in the westbound lane. The other driver slammed on his brakes but was unable to stop in time. Youngbird then fled the scene of the crash on bare feet. The other driver was treated at the Trinity Hospital emergency room for minor injuries to his ribs and some lacerations on his body. A witness to the accident said that Youngbird had been north in a southbound lane prior to the accident with no regard for other drivers.

The owners of the stolen Camaro told police that Youngbird had been in the alley near their house and was frantic that someone was after her. Youngbird told one of the residents that she needed a glass of water. The man told Youngbird that she could not have water and needed to leave. A female resident of the house later found Youngbird in the kitchen of the home holding a glass of water and bottle of Mountain Dew. The woman had not let Youngbird into the house. The man had left the Camaro outside with the keys in the ignition because he was about to take his children to school. Youngbird ran out of the house, got in the car and drove away. However, the officer indicated that both the man and the woman gave inconsistent statements about the alleged theft by Youngbird that did not make much sense.

Youngbird was found after the crash and placed under arrest. She still had glass in her hair from the crash and was not wearing shoes.

Judge Richard Hagar followed Schwarz’s recommendation and set bond at $25,000 cash or corporate surety.
