A 27-year-old woman was arrested on drug charges after calling law enforcement when a vehicle caught on fire.
Sumter County sheriff’s deputies responded at 6:15 p.m. Friday to a location on State Road 93 where Kelsey Rae Banta of Belleview was found with a 1991 Ford F150 which had been on fire, according to an arrest report. The vehicle had been reported as stolen in 2015 to the Gainesville Police Department.
