A woman was arrested after leading law enforcement on a multi-county car chase on Saturday.
It all started at about 1:30 p.m. outside the 7-Eleven store on South Elm Street in Arroyo Grande.
Police say the woman entered the victim's car while the victim was inside the store. The victim confronted the suspect and during a struggle, the suspect reportedly put the vehicle into drive and sped off, dragging the victim for a short distance.
California Highway Patrol officers later located the stolen vehicle traveling northbound on Highway 101 in Monterey County. The vehicle was ultimately stopped on Highway 101 in Salinas near Main Street and the woman was taken into custody, CHP reported.
Police have identified the suspect as Cherisse Duggan, 44. She was booked into the San Luis Obispo County Jail on charges of carjacking, assault with a deadly weapon, hit and run causing injury, and vehicle theft. Her bail has been set at $500,000.
Police say the victim sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
