CORBIN — Times-Tribune Staff Report

Two Corbin women were arrested early Monday morning for stealing a crock pot from a car parked at Baptist Regional Medical Center, according to the Corbin Police Department.

The car belongs to one of the hospital’s employees, police said.

Mellissa Sammons, 31, and Angel Saylor, 28, were each charged with theft by unlawful taking, police said.  

The arrests came after a witness who was sitting in a parked car called police about 1 a.m. and said she had seen two women checking the doors on parked cars. The two women were able to enter one of the cars they checked, the witness told police.

The witness described the women and provided the tag number of their vehicle, a 1997 Mercury, police said. When police arrived, that vehicle was seen turning from Trillium Way onto Cumberland Falls Road.

After the car was stopped, police found an unopened crock pot box in the back seat of the vehicle. Police said the crock pot was returned to its owner, a hospital employee.  

The two women were taken to Whitley County Detention Center.
