around 1:00 in the morning on March 7th
2023 an officer from the Bay County
Sheriff's Office in Florida witnessed a
vehicle traveling and darked out its
lights after turning away from the
officer as the officer continued to
follow the vehicle it started driving on
the opposite side of the road against
traffic the officer then turns his
lights and sirens on to begin the
pursuit there's an unusual factor in
this chase that this officer is unaware
of during this soon to-be high-speed
Pursuit the suspect is apparently
traveling with their pet cat in the
vehicle foot AG from later fails to
reveal any cage or confinement for the
animal meaning the feline is possibly
running loose in the car during this
chase the pursuing officer calls in for
assistance and a second Cruiser makes
their way to the scene at the top of the
screen our team has mapped out the
real-time location of the suspect
vehicle throughout the duration of this
chase this information was obtained by
syncing the officer's location call outs
to the reif pinpointed coordinates
discovered using Google Earth

Beach the suspect went through the first

important after a few minutes they do

excuse me I have something important
though I posted a really dumb video cuz
I was really scared that might want to
be deleted what about that I I couldn't
get gas there was no gas at two gas
stations and I didn't think I was going
to make it out of here I posted on
Instagram saying my situation I didn't
have anybody to call and I was just
scared I got attacked by a single cop at
a gas St for assaulting me so I might
need to get that
deleted all right unbeknownst to the
officers from Bay County Sheriff's
Office the Panama City Beach Police
Department supposedly had an altercation
with the suspect before the pursuit even
began she just off like 10 minutes ago
how' she get B on it's not battery it's
resist oh okay but she she called 901
probably 10 times U about her cat his
story aligns with what is written in a
Panama City Beach police report when she
called 911 the report says she didn't
share identifiable information like her
location she was soon found at a gas
station about a mile from her
apprehension site the report is unclear
on if she was pulled over or was simply
discovered there but according to this
officer's account on scene they just got
lucky enough to spot her and then we
couldn't find her and we find Jonathan
heard her uh talking about gas pump
heard the gas pump in the background and
got lucky and found her at the 360 fuel
store yeah it also says she was involved
in another offense but it is again
unclear if they referring to the misuse
of 911 or something else when ordered to
stop she tried to get into her car the
report shares she grabbed an officer's
arm and pushed him away before driving
off when got out was talk to her and
back in the car and took off took off
they pursued her but they were quickly
told to terminate the chase that's when
a Bay County sheriff's officer spotted
her vehicle roughly 10 Mi away driving
with lights off unaware of the prior
incident what is a good phone number for
you I literally haven't drinken my phone
number phone number 850 it's not my
number I threw my phone out I don't have
a phone so no I don't have a number at
all I don't have a phone so oh it can't
be deleted actually so yeah so that
video is out there what's your address I
don't have an address I literally just
moved out today I was in the hospital
last night for toxic shock syndrome if I
go to jail I might like I'm I'm just
trying to get to a house I was supposed
to stay at my friends tonight he's not
answering his name is Gavin I don't know
his number because you know anyone's
number family somebody no you don't or
you don't want to say cuz you're not
close at the moment I mean I do but you
want us to call anybody for that cat

that you have a prescription m in your
car right right how many of those and I
had toxic shocks in your last night like
I could possibly die this is this is a
real situation and we're going to take
you to the gym for whatever so what have
I done well definitely you ran all these
lights your record of course I was
attacked by a police officer I'm not
that police officer you could have
stopped for me I just saw you driving
out lights and I I stopped on the road
you driving in the westbound Lanes going
eastbound that could have been a head-
onhe head collision with some kid killed
him right on site so there is something
you've done wrong many things regardless
of if whatever happened with the officer
situation I tried to be nice with an
officer and I said okay what's going on
and I said you know what I'm
uncomfortable and Tred to get back into
my car and he literally attacked me like
I my neck is hurt I've never had a a man

hot I might literally pass out right now
you don't understand why weather records
from this date time and location
indicate it was roughly 63° Fahrenheit
or roughly 17° C however a symptom of
toxic shock syndrome that the suspect
claims to have just been suffering from
includes feeling overheated we do not
have records to support or deny her
claims did you take any drugs that we
need to know about that you probably
shouldn't have take any excess of your
prescription drugs that you probably
shouldn't have uh maybe one but no what
kind of at all all one to many maybe no
no not at all okay I'm just trying to
get to my Destin I really need some
water and I'm about to pass out all

God she was charged with the misuse of
911 two counts of fleeing police with
one count in Panama City and one count
with Bay County two counts of resisting
arrest and one count of fleeing police
at high speeds the court set her bond to
$17,500 she appears to have avoided
posting bond for the duration of her
time in jail just 5 Weeks Later a plea
deal was reached the cases were
Consolidated and she was found guilty to
resisting arrest and fleeing police at
high speeds her claims that she was
attacked by an officer were
unsubstantiated she was sentenced to 100
hours of community service got her
license suspended for one year must
serve 4 years of probation has to
Forfeit her items seized and she may
face additional penalties by the
Department of Highway Safety and Motor
Vehicles she was also ordered to pay
over $1,000 in court fees and was
sentenced one day in county jail but
since it appears she spent the 5 weeks
leading up to her court date in jail
this was immediately served with jail
credit upon sentencing good job so proud
