Roneisha Hogan guilty of vehicle theft

A Texas woman who refused to return a car loaned to her by a coworker was found guilty of theft of a motor vehicle Friday, September 13, 2024, in Caddo District Court.

Roneisha Shacole Hogan, 27, of Irving, was found guilty of the theft after 40 minutes of deliberation by the four-man, two-woman jury in District Judge Donald E. Hathaway Jr.’s court.

Judge Hathaway sentenced Hogan to five years at hard labor, suspended, and three years active supervised probation with 240 hours of community service.

Prosecutors called three witnesses to prove that a co-worker of Hogan loaned her the car, which she promised to return in three days. After waiting a week for Hogan to return the vehicle, the coworker reported the car stolen.  Five months later, Hogan was apprehended in Dallas, Texas, with the car.

Assistant District Attorneys Stephen Folk-Cruthirds and Jason Waltman prosecuted Hogan, who was defended by Katie Ferguson and Evan McMichael.

The case was docket No. 398271.
