A woman was with her 4-year-old son when she breached a U.S. Space Force base and stole a man’s car, resulting in a high-speed chase in two Central Florida counties, according to authorities.
Krishna Jade Janosky, 29, of Cocoa, broke into Patrick Space Force Base in Brevard County, damaging the base’s flightline gate in February, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida said in a June 28 news release.
Now Janosky is charged in federal court with unauthorized entry onto a military installation, grand theft auto, fleeing and eluding law enforcement, and damaging government property, federal prosecutors announced.
Information regarding her legal representation wasn’t immediately available July 1.
The breach
On Feb. 7, Janosky rammed into Patrick Space Force Base’s gate with her car and entered the military installation while driving with her child, according to an arrest affidavit filed in Indian River County.
Janosky didn’t have the credentials to be on the base, prosecutors said.
On the grounds of the facility, she exited her car, grabbed her son and then entered a man’s vehicle as he was sitting in the driver’s seat, according to the affidavit.
Janosky placed her child in the back seat of the man’s car and he got out of his vehicle upon request by base personnel, the affidavit says.
Then Janosky “jumped into the driver seat and fled with (his) vehicle,” the affidavit says.
