A woman in Webster, Massachusetts found herself in handcuffs after allegedly leading police on a high-speed chase in the early hours. The Webster Police Department reported that on Sunday, Officer Shane Murray spotted a familiar Honda Civic on Pleasant Street around 2:03 am. Krysta Soldi, the driver of the vehicle, was identified as someone who had a suspended driver's license and had been charged previously for similar violations.
When Ms. Soldi passed Officer Sean Ebbeling on Bigelow Road, she reportedly floored the accelerator, prompting a pursuit. The chase escalated as the car reached speeds of up to 80 MPH and did not stop despite Ebbeling's activated emergency lights and siren. According to the Webster Police Department's social media post, the pursuit continued towards Oxford on Rt. 12 before the officers temporarily lost sight of the vehicle.
Officer Ebbeling rediscovered the Honda as it crashed in the median while attempting to turn onto Cudworth Road, causing sparks to fly from beneath the car. The car became disabled, and Ms. Soldi was said to have rapidly exited the vehicle and failed to comply with commands from authorities. Backup soon arrived in the form of Sergeant Mroczek, Officer Murray and Officer Trinque, alongside support from Oxford and Dudley Police Officers. Both Ms. Soldi and a passenger were extracted from the car and Ms. Soldi was taken into custody.
The charges against Krysta Soldi, a 37-year-old resident of Pleasant Street in Webster, include reckless operation of a motor vehicle, failure to stop for police, speeding, marked lanes violation, and operating a vehicle with a suspended driver's license; subsequent offense. The Webster Police Department emphasizes that all suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
