A North Carolina woman is facing a lengthy collection of charges after authorities say a stolen Lexus turned into a 100-mph police chase and ultimately a crash. Court records cited by Fighting Crime News and Who’s Wanted identify the woman as 36-year-old Greenville resident Shenna Dyquaris Harvey.
According to arrest warrants, Harvey is accused of stealing a 2013 Lexus RX350 valued at approximately $20,000 on September 3. Farmville police encountered the SUV the following day on West Wilson Street after learning that it had been reported stolen.
Instead of pulling over, authorities say Harvey fled from officers and reached approximately 100 mph in a posted 55-mph zone. Warrants accuse her of driving recklessly during the pursuit before becoming involved in a crash that caused personal injury and more than $1,000 in property damage.
The chase itself, however, accounts for only part of the case now facing Harvey. She was booked into the Pitt County Detention Center on Saturday with charges ranging from larceny of a motor vehicle to felony fleeing to elude arrest.
A Stolen Lexus Is Only the Beginning of the Charges
In addition to larceny of a motor vehicle and felony fleeing to elude arrest, Harvey was charged with possession of a stolen motor vehicle, reckless driving, speeding, and driving with an expired license. Authorities also charged her with possession of an open container of alcohol.
Another part of the case involves an electronic monitoring device Harvey was required to wear as a condition of probation. A separate warrant accuses her of tampering with that device, resulting in an interference with an electronic monitoring device charge.
Harvey is also facing a felony probation violation, bringing the total number of listed charges to nine. Taken together, the accusations extend well beyond the stolen SUV that initially brought Farmville police into the picture.
100 MPH Chase Ends With a Crash and No Bond
According to the warrants, Harvey reached approximately 100 mph despite traveling through an area with a posted speed limit of 55 mph. The pursuit eventually ended in a crash that authorities say resulted in personal injury and more than $1,000 worth of property damage.
The information released did not identify the person injured in the collision or provide details about the severity of those injuries. It also did not specify exactly where the crash occurred or describe the circumstances that brought the pursuit to an end.
Harvey was being held without bond at the Pitt County Detention Center and was scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday, September 8. The charges against her remain accusations, and she is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
