    Homan was originally arrested on May 25 when her and Brian Church were spotted in the stolen Budget Rental truck in South Sioux City. She was arrested after a pursuit with police that happened after Church drove the vehicle at a police officer. The officer fired a shot at the truck, and when they were finally stopped by officials near Elk Point, it was revealed that Church had been hit by the bullet.

    Church pleaded not guilty to theft by receiving stolen property, a class IIA felony, operation of a motor vehicle to avoid arrest, and attempted assault on an officer using a motor vehicle, both class IV felonies. Church is scheduled to appear in court for a pretrial conference on August 20 at 9 a.m.
