Conners was located in the Piqua Estates trailer parking lot, initially hiding in her car before taking off and leading the officers on a chase. that reached speeds of 100 mph before she she started to serve side to side on the roadway. The car then left the roadway striking a mailbox, large sign and two trees before coming to a stop.

Conners was the only occupant of the vehicle and was taken to a local hospital for evaluation and treatment. Conners was later taken into custody by the Decatur Police Department.
