Multiple law enforcement agencies were involved in a high-speed chase that spanned four Oklahoma counties Wednesday, according to officials.
According to the Pottawatomie County Sheriff's Office, police were called after a suspect carjacked a victim at knifepoint near Shawnee. The victim told officers that a cellphone was left in the vehicle, and police used the GPS to track down the suspect.
Cleveland County deputies reportedly spotted the vehicle near the Pottawatomie County/Cleveland County line, and that's when the chase began.
Cleveland County, Pottawatomie County, McClain County and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol were all involved in the pursuit, in which speeds reached over 100 mph.
A News 9 viewer caught a portion of the chase on video.
The Pottawatomie County Sheriff Office said ultimately a pit maneuver took out the suspect's vehicle, and the chase ended near Purcell around 8:30 p.m. Wednesday.
The female suspect, identified as 25-year-old China Blue Jones, was taken into custody and booked into the Cleveland County Jail, according to the Pott. County Sheriff's Office.
