Early this morning a Vanderburgh Sheriff’s K-9 handler noticed a stolen car during a patrol leaving the west side Wal Mart and tried to stop it.
But a chase ensued, which reached 90 miles an hour at time and extended into Posey County. Mt. Vernon police and Posey deputies entered the chase, which finally ended near the Illinois state line.
The driver, 41 year old Shawn Young of Boonville told officers she didn’t know the car was stolen, but fled because the has outstanding felony warrants from Warrick and Perry counties.
She’s in the Vanderburgh County Jail on numerous charges including auto theft.
