If you're about to commit a crime . . . one that might lead to a lengthy police chase . . . it might be a good idea to eat BEFOREHAND.
A 38-year-old woman named Johanna Gardell of Worcester, Massachusetts allegedly stole a truck on Tuesday morning. The police caught up with her, but she wouldn't pull over, so the chase was on.
Johanna started blowing through red lights, and driving on the wrong side of the road, into oncoming traffic. She crashed into several vehicles, but was still able to get away. The police called off their pursuit for safety reasons.
At that point, Johanna got a hankering for some McDonald's. It was around 8:45 A.M., so apparently she wanted breakfast. So she hit up a drive-thru. (???)
The police weren't actively CHASING her, but they DID track her down in the drive-thru line. Johanna tried to get away . . . again . . . but she ended up crashing into a pile of mulch on the McDonald's property.
She was arrested, and is facing a dozen charges . . . including failure to stop for police, leaving the scene of an accident with personal injury, assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon, malicious mischief to motor vehicle, disturbing the peace, and disorderly conduct.
