Charges filed against wrong way driver involved in chase with law enforcement

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A woman who was arrested on Friday after having a high-speed chase with law enforcement in the wrong lane of Highway 63 was charged on Monday.

Emily Berry, 48, of Columbia, was charged with aggravated fleeing and misdemeanor driving while revoked. A court appearance was held on Monday and she is being held at the Boone County Jail without bond.

She is accused of driving away from a traffic stop in Ashland after an officer said she had warrants for her arrest, court documents say. She drove northbound in the southbound lanes of Highway 63 and drove to Columbia at 105 miles per hour, the statement says.

Traffic began to slow down once she reached Columbia and law enforcement used spikes to try to stop her, the statement says. She eventually stopped when she was boxed in by a semi-truck, the statement says.
