Tabitha Schmohl, 30, was driving the stolen car near Jett Street on July 17, while the area was under high security for another investigation, the Stafford County Sheriff's Office said.
Due to the high number of recent car theft and vehicle break-ins, Deputy S.P Whitt decided to run the tags on Schmohl's car, only to find it was stolen from a Fredericksburg resident, officials reported.
He conducted a high-risk traffic stop and Schmohl was arrested for possession of a stolen vehicle and driving while suspended, police said.
She was being held at Rappahannock Regional Jail on a secured bond.
