NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A woman has been arrested following a slow-speed chase with a stolen vehicle along Murfreesboro Pike on Tuesday.
At this time we do not have suspect details, but know that the chase began in Hermitage and spanned across Davidson County on Tuesday.
The chase began at around 3 a.m., with Metro Police and continued to Bell Road at around 6:45 a.m.
According to police, the woman involved nearly struck two officers overnight after they attempted to check on her after she was found asleep in the vehicle on Burnett Rd.
Officials said they positioned two squad cars around her and then moved in to wake her up. When she awoke, she hit the gas and reportedly slammed into the squad cars before speeding away.
Spike strips were deployed at two locations and she hit them both, blowing the tires out on the car.
She was able to keep driving for the next four hours at a very slow pace with both Metro Police and Tennessee Highway Patrol following.
The chase ended at around 7:30 a.m. on I-24W near Briley Parkway where she was stopped by Tennessee Highway Patrol using a pit maneuver.
The woman involved has since been taken into custody. Police say they were familiar with the individual and that she did have a prior arrest which was non-violent.

This is a beautiful story of chosen family, proving a father figure doesn't have to have biology in common to make a difference in a child's life. The story of De'Andre and Alex will remind you that our relationships help determine the course of our lives. And that being supportive of someone - through a meal, a shared experience or even swim lessons can make all the difference.
