Border Patrol: Woman arrested after blowing past checkpoint
SAN DIEGO — A woman was arrested after she refused to stop at a highway Border Patrol checkpoint in East County, leading to a high-speed chase, authorities said.
The woman drove up to the checkpoint on Interstate 8 near Pine Valley around 1:30 a.m. Sunday, but she refused to stop, speeding up and trying to pass agents, according to U.S. Border Patrol. Officials who spotted the woman’s car used a device to damage her tires, and authorities then chased the woman past the checkpoint in their own vehicles.
