Police in Texas released video of a woman escaping from handcuffs and taking off with a patrol car.

Toscha Fay Sponsler, 33 of Pollok, is being held in the Angelina County Jail on a first-degree escape causing bodily injury or threat of a deadly weapon charge after she got out of her handcuffs Saturday and stole a police unit, KTRE reports.

Sponsler led police on a high-speed chase, driving up to 100 mph, according to police. The chase ended when she crashed in Zavalla after a Texas Department of Public Safety trooper used a pursuit intervention technique maneuver to make her lose control of the vehicle.

Police in Lufkin said Sponsler ran off when officers responded to the parking lot of an Ulta for a call about a suspicious person or possible shoplifter.

Officers arrested her, but she eventually was able to escape from the handcuffs, climb through the window partition and drive off.

‘Throughout the chase, officers could see the 33-year-old Pollok woman reaching for the officer’s shotgun, which was mechanically locked to the vehicle,’ Jessica Pebsworth told KTRE. ‘During the 100-mph chase, Sponsler nearly went head-on with two Lufkin police units and Constable Chad Wilson.’

Police also found methamphetamine after her arrest.

Meanwhile, there was heavy damage to the police unit after she crashed. The vehicle will likely be totaled, Pebsworth said.
