A Holmes County woman is in custody after she led Washington County deputies in a high-speed pursuit down State Rd. 79 in Washington County.
In the early morning hours of August 11th, Washington County Sheriff’s deputies find themselves in a high-speed pursuit. The suspect, later identified as 30-year-old, Autumn Nichole Crews, of Holmes County, was traveling at speeds in excess of 100 miles an hour. Deputies attempted a traffic stop. Crews initiated a pursuit that led deputies to a dead-end road where the pursuit ended.
Once the pursuit ended, Crews did not comply with any commands and had to be assisted, where she was then placed under arrest.
In an attempt to identify the female, deputies locate, in plain view, a clear plastic bag containing several grams of a crystalized substance that later field tested positive for methamphetamine.
Crews was transported and booked into the Washington County Jail on charges of resisting an officer, flee/elude with lights and sirens active, possession of drug paraphernalia and trafficking methamphetamine.
