Woman Allegedly Runs Across Highway To Flee Police

A Cookeville woman allegedly stole sandwiches from Walmart Monday before fleeing from Algood Police and running across Highway 111.

Officials said 36-year-old Stephanie Marie Green dashed across four lanes of the highway after being located during a shoplifting investigation. An arrest report indicates that two vehicles left the roadway to avoid striking Green, while another car locked its brakes to avoid a collision.

Officers gave chase, tasered Green, and arrested her for evading arrest and reckless endangerment. She has not yet posted her $2,000 bond.

Authorities found Greed hiding in a wooded area shortly after Walmart Loss prevention reported the stolen sandwiches. The report said the foot chase across the highway began after Green refused orders to halt.

Warrants do not indicate any charges associated with the shoplifting report.
