An 18-year-old Rapid City woman was arrested Sunday after allegedly fleeing from police in a vehicle carrying a juvenile runaway and crashing into a patrol car.
Police responded to the 1300 block of Atlas Street around 12:40 p.m. after receiving a report that a runaway juvenile was inside a vehicle. When officers attempted to contact the driver, identified as Josiah Hornbeck, she allegedly sped away through a yard.
According to police, Hornbeck drove at a high rate of speed through an alley between North Seventh Street and Northeast Drive, striking a patrol vehicle before crashing through a fence and into a residential backyard. She then fled on foot but was apprehended a short time later.
The juvenile runaway was found safe.
Hornbeck was arrested on charges including reckless driving, felony vandalism, misdemeanor vandalism, obstruction, underage consumption of alcohol, an outstanding warrant, and a probation hold. She was transported to the Pennington County Jail.
