A high-speed chase through parts of three Kentucky counties ended with a Louisville woman’s arrest.
Police say they had to use stop sticks to force 52 year-old Sharon Buckland to come to a stop after she reportedly drove more than 100 miles-per-hour and nearly hit several vehicles in downtown Elizabethtown, putting officers lives in danger.
After speeding through Meade and Hardin Counties Buckland was arrested in Hart County early Sunday morning.
Her charges include fleeing and evading police, first-degree wanton endangerment, reckless driving, speeding in excess of 100 miles-per-hour in a 30 mile-per-hour zone, and operating a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs.
Police say Buckland admitted to taking Hydrocodone and Xanax.
Police said Buckland drove without her headlights illuminated during the pursuit, which happened between 12:30 and 1:15 a.m. on Sunday.
