VINELAND, N.J. (AP) — Authorities say a New Jersey woman lied twice to cover up the theft of a laptop computer, claiming first that she was carjacked and then that her car crashed because she was having sex.

Authorities say 23-year-old Sarah Blasse of Vineland initially told police Saturday that she broke her arm during a carjacking.

Police say Blasse later claimed her car crashed into a tree while she was performing a sex act on a man she had picked up.

Camden County prosecutor’s spokesman Jason Laughlin says Blasse and her boyfriend actually stole a laptop computer from a car and slipped away from pursuing police in her car, but then crashed and attempted to set the vehicle on fire.

Blasse and 27-year-old Henry Goode Jr. face charges including arson, burglary and hindering apprehension. Authorities say they don’t yet have lawyers.
