Woman facing charges after 2 car chases in Chautauqua County in less than a month
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — A woman is facing a host of charges after she allegedly led police in Chautauqua County on two separate chases in less than a month, according to the Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Office.
24-year-old Savannah Dorsey-Carter allegedly led police on two chases.
The first happened on March 18, where authorities said she led police on a chase through the towns of Gerry, Ellery and Stockton before she drove into a ditch. After crashing, she allegedly fled on foot before being found in a cabin two miles away.
She was not held after the first incident due to police not filing charges in time to hold her after Dorsey-Carter was in custody while hospitalized.
On Tuesday morning, Dorsey-Carter then allegedly led police from Pennsylvania into the state before the chase ended in the town of Mina.
Dorsey-Carter is facing the following charges in connection to both chases:
second-degree burglary
fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance
third-degree criminal possession of stolen property
third-degree unauthorized use of a vehicle
third-degree aggravated unlicensed
fourth-degree criminal mischief
third-degree unlawful fleeing of a police officer in a motor vehicle
reckless driving
multiple traffic violations
