Missing rental car leads to charges

CONCORD TWP — State police are searching for an Emlenton woman who they say failed to return a rental car.

It’s been six months since 28-year-old Jaimie Rae King rented the 2012 Hyundai Elantra from a Hertz site on Route 38 in Concord Township, police said.

She was to keep the car for four days under the rental agreement and return it Jan. 7.

But that deadline came and went with no sign of the silver Hyundai, valued at $14,287, according to court documents.

The rental agency on Jan. 14 sent King a certified letter, telling her to return the car. The letter also told her that her credit card company was denying payment for the use of the vehicle, police said.

Additionally, she was warned that if the agency did not get its car back, she could end up in a criminal case.

Last week, police contacted Hertz, who told the investigating trooper that the car was still missing.

District Judge Lewis Stoughton on June 26 issued an arrest warrant for King, who is charged with felony theft and a misdemeanor charge of unauthorized use of a vehicle.

Anyone with information on King’s whereabouts is asked to call police at 724-284-8100.
