La Plata County Sheriff\u2019s deputies take Sabrina Bullock into custody Thursday after a multi-county pursuit ended east of Bayfield. Bullock was being held Friday in the La Plata County jail. Police were searching for answers about why she led them on a 93-mile chase reaching speeds of 90 mph.<\/span>Jerry McBride\/Durango Herald<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>

Police were searching for answers Friday about why a woman driving a BMW led them on a 93-mile chase Thursday across Southwest Colorado.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have nothing,\u201d said Capt. Adrian Driscoll with the Colorado State Patrol. \u201cWe have no reason why she ran. We\u2019re still trying to ascertain what was going on in her mind at that time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sabrina Bullock, 40, of Santa Fe, was being held Friday in the La Plata County jail on suspicion of vehicular eluding.<\/p>\n

The incident started about 9:40 a.m. when an officer in Rio Grand County stopped Bullock for driving 60 mph in a 30 mph zone east of South Fork. Bullock allegedly refused to cooperate with the officer and fled in her green SUV.<\/p>\n

The chase went through South Fork, over Wolf Creek Pass, through Pagosa Springs and ended east of Bayfield after authorities used spike strips to puncture all four tires. Bullock turned into a driveway at 47320 U.S. Highway 160 to elude officers but was ultimately arrested at 11:30 a.m. by La Plata County Sheriff\u2019s deputies.<\/p>\n

During the pursuit, she struck an Archuleta County Sheriff\u2019s Office vehicle and attempted to ram a Colorado State Patrol cruiser, authorities said. Because the chase covered so much distance, the Colorado State Patrol was talking to two different District Attorney Offices on Friday about which would handle formal charges.<\/p>\n

It is possible Bullock was experiencing a psychological episode, which may be at the root of her actions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s something we\u2019re definitely looking at,\u201d Driscoll said. \u201cWe haven\u2019t really dug into her background. We\u2019ve been busy trying to get all the initial paperwork done. I\u2019m sure all those questions will be answered in the next couple of days, probably by Monday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bullock had not been formally booked into the jail as of Friday afternoon because she was being uncooperative with authorities and had not answered routine questions as part of the intake process, said La Plata County Sheriff\u2019s Office spokesman Dan Bender.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
