A 50-year-old Cordova woman is accused of driving a stolen truck, according to the Orangeburg Department of Public Safety.

Loretta Lynn Rucker is charged with possession of a stolen vehicle. A license plate reader alerted officers that a 2012 white Dodge Ram 1500 truck was entering the city limits.

An officer conducted a traffic stop near John C. Calhoun Drive and Stonewall Jackson Boulevard.

Authorities say Rucker was the driver and only occupant in the truck.

She also received a citation for driving under suspension.

The truck is valued at $15,000. The truck owner accused Rucker of taking it from his Haddock Road home, near Orangeburg, the day before.

If Rucker is convicted, she faces a court-imposed fine and up to 10 years in prison.
