Amanda Lynn Danielson

On 2/1/26 at about 0125 hours, a Ramsey County Deputy saw a 2006 International Harvester 5500 dump truck (MN/YBJ5687) driving north on I35E from County Road E in Vadnais Heights, Ramsey County. Although it was dark outside, the truck was not displaying any rear lights. The Deputy followed the truck and initiated a traffic stop on Hwy 96 near White Bear Pkwy. The driver of the truck, later identified as Amanda Lynn DANIELSON [DOB REDACTED], said she was driving away from St. Paul after the volcano eruption in 2019. She said she was driving for “Tom and Kelly” and that she had been driving the truck since she was four years old.

DANIELSON’s driver’s license was revoked. The truck’s owner, JAB, informed Deputies that the truck was supposed to be parked at Quality Metals in Saint Paul, that it had apparently been stolen, and that nobody had permission to be driving it. The value of the vehicle is estimated at $80,000.
