Woman in high-speed chase with deputies claims foot was stuck

KENLY, N.C. (WTVD) -- A woman who allegedly led Johnston County deputies on a chase that topped speeds of 100 mph later claimed her foot was stuck on the gas pedal, said the Sheriff's Office.

A deputy spotted 19-year-old Star Shields Williams' red Ford Mustang speed by around 10:30 p.m. Monday on Princeton-Kenly Road.

The deputy tried to pull her over, but the Mustang sped up while deputies followed it along several secondary roads in Johnston County.

Williams eventually pulled over. She's now charged with felony fleeing to elude arrest, reckless driving, speeding, failure to stop for a light or siren, and driving left of center.
