An arrest warrant for theft of a vehicle was served Tuesday by Hopkinsville police against a local woman.

Princeton Police investigated the incident and determined that on Saturday of last week, 20-year-old Jordan Smith of Hopkinsville allegedly took an SUV belonging to Lametre Riley and wrecked it in Hopkins County.
