A 38-year-old Brimhall woman has been charged with receiving a stolen vehicle after she was found in possession of a stolen vehicle.

Gallup police were dispatched to a trailer at 2500 E. Aztec Ave. about 6 pm on July 18 because of a stolen car report.

When they got there, they found Jeanice Long getting out of the vehicle. When informed that the car had been reported stolen, she said it belonged to her uncle.

Police, however, determined that the vehicle belonged to Ronald Gene and he was contacted and came to the site and told police Long did not have permission to be in possession of the vehicle.

He also said he did not know Long, which resulted in her being arrested.

A man, identified as Gilbert John Jr., was in the car and was also arrested when they found he had an outstanding warrant out for his arrest.
