A 30-year-old woman who had been out of jail for just 31 days after a felony burglary conviction is back behind bars after Polk County deputies spotted a stolen pickup truck in Davenport. Kelsey Morgan Keefe was arrested on October 27, and investigators say a search of the truck turned up a 9-millimeter handgun that had also been reported stolen.
According to a report from highlands1043.com, Keefe now faces charges including grand theft of a motor vehicle, firearm theft, fleeing police and resisting officers. The station reported that she had been released from jail just 31 days before her latest arrest, following a felony burglary conviction.

An Earlier Stolen-Pickup Pursuit
A separate case provides a point of comparison: in a December 13, 2023, release, the Polk County Sheriff's Office said deputies and assisting agencies boxed in a stolen 2000 Nissan pickup on eastbound I-4 near mile marker 49 and arrested its 14-year-old driver. That earlier incident involved a different vehicle, driver and date from Keefe's case.
