Teen Leads Officers on a Chase

TATUM � A Rusk County teenager is in custody after she allegedly stole her mother�s car and led police on a chase that at times topped 100 miles an hour. Around 6:00 Wednesday a mother called the sheriff�s department about a dispute. As officers were heading to the house on County Road 2173, the mother called back to say her daughter had taken her car and was heading to Henderson.

The 14 year old girl fled from officers by heading into Henderson and then turned around and headed back toward Tatum. Officers were able to stop her car by putting spikes in the road. The spikes flattened two tires and she ran off into a ditch.
