A Cumberland County state trooper was alongside I-295 in Fayetteville with a fire truck on Tuesday when a Honda passenger car failed to move over or slow down for the emergency vehicles.

The trooper attempted to stop the Honda but the driver refused to pull over. The chase continued onto I-95 northbound, reaching speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour.

The car exited off I-95 onto Godwin Falcon Road / NC Highway 82 at Exit 65 then reentered the interstate.

The chase entered Harnett County and at the Spring Branch Road exit (Exit 73) the suspect took the exit ramp at speeds over 100 miles per hour. At the top of the ramp the suspect lost control, struck a curb, and went airborne over the top of a guardrail.

  1. You all know that there are plenty of states where marijuana is totally legal. Please move there.

  2. Arresting over Mary Jane in 2025 is actually insane. I hate this state is so closed minded and not understanding the amount of money it can make if it just legalized it.

  3. Hal green please move to another state we got to many people now and take more with you

  4. This isn’t even about marijuana, it’s about the fact that if she had just slowed down or moved over, they more than likely would not have even bothered with her. However her tags were expired so maybe they would have attempted to stop her. Who knows. The rest of the charges may not have even happened.

      • No excuses needed to be given she failed to move over to protect the life of first responders. That is the law.

  5. She had no regard for human life to drive that fast. She could have killed a LEO, Firefighter or a civilian but she did not care. Well, I would not have cared that when she wrecked that her life was disregarded for good. Anyway, good job to the LEOs in the chase.

  6. This had nothing to do with marijuana and everyting to do with her carelessly and recklessly endangering many innocent people while disrespecting and fleeing from police. If she would just move over and or slow down there never would have been a reason for a stop. She made the decision to drive over 100 mph away from cops and put evryone in danger.

  7. Addition is real, It destroys lives everyday. They say pot is not a big deal. Well let’s see. Expired tags, fleeing at killer speeds. Wrecking her vehicle. Putting EMTs lives at risk. Pot is 100 times more potent than the 70s. And at last… driving under any influence is how ppl DIE. Most often innocent ppl.

  8. Another pos living in North Carolina and doesn’t care about anything or anyone. Keep her a** in jail.

  9. I went to school with her. Her daughter’s got taken away for being neglectful. It sad to see what’s she’s turned into. She had a good childhood and mother. It’s surprising she turned out this way
