Women Guilty In High Speed Rt. 80 Chase

PARSIPPANY, NJ — A woman who led police on a high-speed chase down Route 80 has been found guilty, Morris County Prosecutor Fredric M. Knapp said.

Asha Patterson, 23, from Queens Village, New York, was found guilty of eluding while creating a risk of death or injury to any person during a jury trial in Morris County. She was acquitted on charges of obstructing the administration of law.

In July of 2015, New Jersey State Police attempted to pull Patterson over on Route 80 in Parsippany for motor vehicle infractions. Patterson led police on a high-speed chase down the highway, eventually ending with her arrest in Roxbury.

She was taken to the Morris County Jail to await a March 29 sentencing hearing.
