High-Speed Chase in Oklahoma: Louisiana Woman Arrested

Incident Overview

In the early hours of Saturday, a woman from Louisiana was apprehended by law enforcement after an extensive chase that spanned nearly 60 miles, starting east of Kingfisher and concluding just south of Stillwater, Oklahoma.

Pursuit Details

The situation began around 2:50 a.m. when a deputy from the Kingfisher County Sheriff’s Office noticed a vehicle positioned in the middle of eastbound State Highway 33. Upon activating his emergency lights to signal the driver to stop, the vehicle sped away, prompting the deputy to initiate a pursuit.

The vehicle continued to evade capture, leading deputies to call for additional support. Once backup arrived, the chase escalated quickly, with the driver ultimately reaching speeds of up to 120 miles per hour and driving against traffic for approximately 10 miles on the highway.

Assault on Law Enforcement

As attempts were made to force the vehicle to stop, one deputy was injured when the driver accelerated and knocked him to the ground. Although he sustained a wrist injury, there were no serious complications reported.

Conclusion of the Pursuit

The pursuit was terminated when the vehicle was finally stopped about three miles south of Stillwater. The woman, whose name has yet to be disclosed pending formal charges, was driving a rental car from Texas. Following her arrest, she was booked into the Kingfisher County jail on charges that include assault and battery with a deadly weapon and felony eluding.

Current Status

No further details regarding the woman’s identity or the circumstances leading to the high-speed chase have been released at this time. The Kingfisher County Sheriff’s Office is continuing to investigate the incident.
