Louisiana Woman Wanted for Allegedly Falsely Reporting Vehicle Stolen and Attempting to Extort Ten Money from an Acquaintance
Union Parish, Louisiana – A Louisiana woman allegedly falsely reported her vehicle stolen and tried to extort more than ten times the amount paid for the vehicle by a salvage yard. She is now wanted for arrest on charges of Extortion and Criminal Mischief.
The Union Parish Sheriff’s Office (UPSO) reported on January 19, 2023, that Joanna Donelle Allen contacted them in August of 2022 to report her vehicle stolen. UPSO detectives launched an investigation, which revealed that Allen’s vehicle had not been stolen, but had been taken to a salvage yard by an acquaintance at her request. The investigation also revealed that Allen allegedly tried to extort the acquaintance for more than ten times the amount paid for the vehicle by the salvage yard.
Detectives contacted Allen and informed her that they suspected she was lying and explained the consequences; however, Allen reportedly stuck to her story. The investigation eventually led detectives to multiple witnesses who confirmed Allen was aware her vehicle had been scrapped before reporting it stolen.
Warrants have been issued for Allen’s arrest on the charges of Extortion and Criminal Mischief (Filing False Report).
