Alexandra E. Snyder
A day after her photo appeared in this newspaper and on television, a Lancaster County woman wanted for stealing her father's Jeep and for violating her state parole was arrested in Manheim Township.
Alexandra E. Snyder, 25, was captured without incident Wednesday by officers from the state police fugitive unit, U.S. Marshals Service and Lancaster County Sheriff's Office in an apartment in Valleybrook Estates off Oregon Pike, according to state Trooper Rich Drum.
Authorities said they found Snyder thanks to tips provided by people who read and viewed news reports that she was wanted, Drum said.
Snyder was expected to be taken to the Susquehanna Regional Police Department on Wednesday afternoon for arraignment. The department had been looking for her since Nov. 7, when she allegedly stole a Jeep from her father's home in East Donegal Township.
The same day, she also allegedly removed an ankle monitor she had been wearing as part of her state parole.
Removing the monitor and stealing the Jeep both constituted violations of her parole, officials said.
Snyder pleaded guilty in May 2004 to robbery after she held up a McDonald's restaurant with a .22-caliber rifle in Shamokin Dam a year earlier.
She was sentenced to 31 months to 10 years in state prison for the crime, and she was on parole after she was released.
