Before the Defendant could get her vehicle unstuck Deputy Settles turned the Defendant's vehicle off and removed the keys and placed them on top of the vehicle until my arrival. Upon my arrival I could see damage to the Defendants vehicle but could not determine a victim or a location of where the Defendant may have collided with something.
