One officer tried to place her under arrest and was injured, police said.
Brave was eventually subdued, and police said they learned she had a domestic incident with her aunt.
The 22-year-old then stole her aunt's car, got into an accident and ran from the crash scene.

The officer was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
