A Virginia woman was arrested after a chase in a stolen car that crossed the state line and continued into the Outer Banks and ended in a crash and the suspect confronting deputies with a knife.
On Monday, Currituck County Deputies took over the pursuit of the driver of a stolen vehicle running from the Chesapeake Police Department.
Patrol deputies pursued Ciera Scott,28, from Norfolk, Virginia for about three miles traveling south on NC168 in Moyock.
They arrested Scott after she crashed into a ditch near the intersection of Survey Rd. and NC168.
Investigators said Scott had fled from multiple agencies in Virginia prior to entering North Carolina.
After crashing the stolen vehicle, Scott got out of the car and pointed a knife at the deputies. A patrol supervisor used his Taser to incapacitate Scott and other deputies took her into custody.
Scott is charged with felony flee to elude arrest, careless and reckless driving, possession of a stolen vehicle, no operator’s license, and assault with a deadly weapon in Currituck County.
She was also processed for felony charges from Chesapeake that stemmed from the pursuit.
Ciera Scott is being held in the Currituck County Detention Center under a $75,000.00 secured bond.
