KENLY, N.C. -- A woman who allegedly led North Carolina deputies on a chase that topped speeds of 100 mph later claimed her foot was stuck on the gas pedal, said the Johnston County Sheriff's Office.
A deputy spotted 19-year-old Star Shields Williams' red Ford Mustang speed by around 10:30 p.m. Monday on Princeton-Kenly Road, police said.
The deputy tried to pull her over, but the Mustang sped up while deputies followed it along several secondary roads in Johnston County, police said.
Williams eventually pulled over. She's now charged with felony fleeing to elude arrest, reckless driving, speeding, failure to stop for a light or siren, and driving left of center.
