A high-speed chase and car theft drama unfurled at the Patrick Space Force Base as 29-year-old Krishna Jade Janosky from Cocoa was indicted on multiple federal offenses, following a frenetic episode earlier this year, a recent statement released by the United States Attorney's Office sheds light on the gravity of her alleged actions. According to the indictment, Janosky stands accused of unauthorized entry onto the base, grand theft auto, fleeing and dodging law enforcement at perilous speeds, and destruction of government property.

On February 7, 2024, it is alleged that Janosky made her way onto the military installation without proper authorization and commandeered a vehicle not her own,, thereafter she reportedly led police on a chase that showcased a "wanton disregard for the safety of persons and property," the document details this destructive joyride included a collision with the Patrick Space Force Base flightline gate that led to its damage; if she is found guilty of these offenses, she could face a prison sentence up to 30 years. An indictment, however, is not a conviction, and Janosky is deemed innocent until proven otherwise by the court of law.

Multiple agencies including the Air Force Office of Special Investigation, the 45th Security Forces Squadron, and sheriff's offices from both Brevard and Indian River counties joined forces in bringing this case to the courts, demonstrating a coordinated effort across military and local law enforcement bodies to address the breach. The case is set to be prosecuted by Special Assistant United States Attorney Rachel S. Lyons who will aim to dissect the details of the incident and present the government's case.
