The deputies chased and caught the woman and secured her
in the back of the patrol car as backup arrived on the scene.
During the capture of the female suspect, her male
counterpart also began to run away.
The deputies were talking and started to go in the woods
to try and locate the male subject when they heard a vehicle crank up,The
patrol car began coming down the road. They were standing in the roadway, and
the car was coming right at them at a high rate of speed, trying to run over
them. The deputies jumped back and opened fire, trying to disable the vehicle.
The female suspect had climbed into the front seat of the vehicle after
maneuvering her cuffed hands from behind her back and squeezed through the
partition separating the front of the car from the back.
She fled the scene, leading pursuing deputies all the way
to Camp Creek Road in St. Clair County before she was caught a second time.
When the deputies approached her, she told them she had
been shot. Then they saw what appeared to be a gunshot wound to the lower leg
area. They called EMS, and she was transported to the hospital.”
