I saw a dozen cop cars flying by Immaculate Heart of Mary, way over the speed limit, and almost crash at the intersection. Disheartening to find out that this was for non life threatening injuries. High speed chases are for last resort, not just because some City cop had a fender bender! Goucher Blvd is not the place to be heroes....

The news said the car had FOP tags. Channel 11 showed a helicopter view of the police boxing the car - and stopping the car. Amazing considering the coordination of the Police vehicles to stop the car.

I thought it was against city police policy to engage in a high speed chase.

they will say "Im not chasing Im just following " ( I hear it on the scanner) and to me that begs the question how can you follow them with out doing the speed thay are doing ? FAST! perhaps its a legal thing,,,,,,,btw Sam, Gary all you guys,,,, i have heard then say "break it off" and discontinue the chase (on a minor traffic thing) but Im going along with you guys,,,,,,,,,,,Ya just cant let 'em assault police with a vehicle and not chase them down

To : Steve Cline, while they do jhave a no chase policy on the dirt bikes ( and in general ) I've seen them "follow " them with the assitance of Fox trot (air),
as I stated in my first comment they just say that,dont believe for one second,Steve they wont chase them, just sayin'

Shouldn't they can be able to catch the bad guys without a high speed chase - maybe a combination of helicopter, tag number, and detective work?

Hey Mauricio....you have no idea what you are talking about. The suspect in the chase tried to RUN over two police officers, hitting one of them in the process. If you think that the police weren't going to chase her until the wheels came off then you're out of your mind. Until you go to the police academy and get some training, keep your mouth shut about things you know nothing about. Those police officers involved in that chase yesterday are braver and more heroic than you'll ever be.

More brave....pardon my spelling

MB ... yep .. the cops were speeding .. must have been doing 45 mph .. and by the way .. the perp was fleeiung city cops .. and blowing red lights .. etc .. so this drug dealing bimbo was breaking the laws in their turf .. and traffic is supposed to yeild to emergency vehicles .. and finally .. what's your problem with cops? you have a history with LEOs..

further by the way .. school was out at the time of trhe chase ...unless catholic schools are in session after 1600 hours ...

Check out her Case Search - she's done something very similar before. Not to mention that she has 99 (YES NINETY NINE) various traffic, theft, drug possession charges since 2003. Trust me, she's not a stranger to the law (even with her poor grandfather being a retired Harco Deputy). Do a google on her - she was in the news on July 21, 2011 when she was the passenger in a car that had just left the meth clinic in Harford County. They hit my cousin's car head on and killed his wife instantly. KARMA and JUSTICE... that's what we' should be talking about.

the judge should had put her in jail the first time not probation

this is the girl who was in the car with the woman who crashed head on into another vehicle last year in harford county. the woman in the other vehicle was killed. charminbg.

@maurico. People like you make me sick. I guess Ishould turn to a life of crime and then just go seventy miles a. hour down putty hill and no one should chase me down. What if that dumb criminal would have run down one of your children on her way by? you'd be the first one crying how the cops didn't do enough to stop her. Thank you to the officers that apprehended this POS. I'm glad you didn't listen to some idiot who didn't want you to pursue criminals who are breaking the speed limit. It's amazing to me how stupid some people can be. If cops didn't Chase down speeding criminals what kind of precedent would that set? Oh Btw, not interested in a response, your ignorance speaks for itself.

@ Holton... School WAS in session at the time. I know, because I was working when those cops flew by and I get off when it's time for me to get my dtr from the bus stop. She's an elementary school student. If I was still at work, the kids were still in school. It certainly wasn't anywhere close to 4:00. I leave at 3:00.

Sorry NANAB.....I now see that you mentioned the fatal car crash. I am very sorry for your cousin's loss. Even more reason to pray for Hoffman's 'jail cell justice'. I know someone will whining and crying, it's not her fault....wha, wha, wha, she had a lousy childhood.....I don't feel sorry for her one ounce. She's grown, knows the law, and had the option to choose compassion, but chose NOT to......many times over! Now she'll answer for ALL of it.

Wow. Good arguments on both sides. Bottom line......this girl needs to stay behind bars. She's a menus to society!!!

No one is really talking about this criminal, but if she were Black or a Black man the comments would reflect a totally different attitude.

She lives down the street from me. They had our court on the news trying to interview people......resale value of my home probably just plummeted. I hope she gets some help with whatever problems she is dealing with. Her grandparents always seemed like such nice people

kaori .. i'm quite sure pat mc donogh will be issuing a statement regarding bands of rampaging white women as a scorge on the county ..LOL!!

I had just stepped outside for a smoke after waking up from working night shift and I counted 15 marked cruisers and 3 SUV's with the dash and grill lights FLY past my house. Everyone of them doing probably 90mph. I've never seen, in person, police driving as fast as they were. The chase ended maybe 1/4 mile from my house, I could see the cluster of police cars from the end of my sidewalk. I don't have any problem with the police chasing at those speeds even with all the traffic on Joppa road because there isn't any other alternative except to let the criminal escape. even after seeing someone crash into the firehouse tavern a few years back during a chase I still don't think the cops should have called off the chase. On a side note, she should be locked up for assault after I was forced to look at her mug shot.
