Things got a little crazy in San Diego on Friday night when a 22-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of stealing a cop car and then leading authorities on a high-speed chase that ended in Oceanside.
Close to midnight, just east of downtown, Felicitas Flores stole a parked police car and drove away, heading north on The 5. Soon after, other drivers began reporting her erratic driving. CHP and San Diego police caught up with her and she then led them on a chase at speeds of up to 90 miles per hour.
Near Carlsbad, officers used a spike strip to slow down Flores, but even with deflated tires, she still was able to drive all the way to Oceanside.
Police surrounded the driver at a rest stop, and even then, she smashed head-on into one of the police cars. Eventually police were able to apprehend her.
Flores faces possible charges of drunk driving, grand theft auto, assault with a deadly weapon, evading arrest and vandalism, according to jail records. The records indicate she has had two prior arrests for drunk driving.
