Jefferson Co. – Three metro-East women are behind bars following a high-speed chase that stretched over four southern Illinois counties last night. According to a release from the Jefferson Co. Sheriff’s Office, 21-year-old Crystal Davis, 28-year-old Taneshia Winfield and 18-year-old Marshalia Orange are all facing charges of aggravated fleeing police and others after a chase that started in Johnson County and continued north up to Jefferson County on Interstate 57, often at an excess of 100mph and with a child in the vehicle. A spike strip was deployed just north of Ina which finally disabled the vehicle, along with a Johnson Co. The vehicle also matches the description of one used in an armed robbery in Paducah last week. The women are being held in the Jefferson Co. Jail awaiting formal charges.
