Carjacker Leads Police On Chase Through Boulder County: Officials

BOULDER COUNTY, CO — A woman was arrested Friday after she stole a truck and led police on a chase, the Boulder County Sheriff's Office said.

D'kota Joann Loraine Haley, 28, of Loveland, faces charges of felony eluding, reckless endangerment, criminal mischief, possession of a controlled substance and four outstanding warrants for her arrest, the sheriff's office said.

Haley stole a pickup truck at gunpoint Thursday morning in Lakewood, officials said. Police weren't able to find her, and Westminster police chased the truck Thursday evening but she was able to get away, the sheriff's office said.

Haley then led deputies, troopers and police on a chase through Boulder County that reached speeds up to 80 mph, authorities said.

Officers used stop sticks to slow the truck in Longmont, but Haley kept driving until patrol cars used a maneuver to stop the truck around a mile north of State Highway 66 on State Highway 287, the sheriff's office said.

Haley then jumped out of the truck and ran through a field, but officers were able to catch her, officials said.

She was taken to a hospital to treat minor cuts to her hands from a barbed wire fence.

She's being held at the Boulder County Jail.
