A Woman Gets in a High-Speed Police Chase in a Stolen Tesla . . . and Is Busted When the Battery Runs Out

I guess if you're going to steal an electric car, you really should see this coming.

 

 

There's a 60-year-old woman named Kathy Sain from Payson, Arizona.  And on Sunday, she stole a TESLA from a parking lot outside a Subway.

 

 

The car was reported stolen quickly, and the cops wound up in a high-speed chase with Kathy.

 

 

And it ended when . . . the Tesla's battery ran out of juice.

 

 

The cops say, quote, "Spike strips were ineffective [but the] vehicle ran out of electricity" so they were able to arrest Kathy.

 

 

She was charged with theft, fleeing, criminal damage, aggravated driving under the influence, and failing to appear on two outstanding warrants.
