A 31-year-old Onalaska woman has been charged in Crawford County Circuit Court with one count of operating a motor vehicle without the owner’s consent.

Heather Wangen faces up to six years in prison and a $10,000 fine if convicted.

According to the criminal complaint, Prairie du Chien police received a call about a vehicle being stolen from the McDonald’s parking lot. A woman was sitting in McDonald’s when she saw Wangen get into her vehicle, start it up and drive away. The vehicle had been unlocked and the keys were in the cup holder.

A short time later, the vehicle was stopped by police on South Marquette Road. Wangen admitted to police that she had used methamphetamine earlier in the day and didn’t feel good. She said she looked around for a car with keys in it so she could drive herself to the hospital.
