MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. — A 20-year-old Milledgeville woman reportedly stole a car and then tried to elude a sheriff’s deputy in a high-speed chase early Wednesday.

Authorities said speeds reached 80-plus miles per hour during the chase that went down several streets. The chase happened shortly after 3 a.m.

The woman was eventually taken into custody after a brief foot chase with deputies, and is now charged with numerous criminal and traffic-related offenses.

It was also learned later that the suspect is wanted on four outstanding warrants for other unrelated charges.

The suspect was identified as Destiny Skye Sparks, of Anthony Way, according to an incident report filed by Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Ashley Brown.

Sparks was charged with theft by taking of an auto, fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer, driving while unlicensed, failure to maintain lane, failure to obey a traffic control device, five counts of failure to stop at a stop sign, obstruction of a law enforcement officer, criminal interference with government property, and failure to signal when turning.

After the car chase with the deputy sheriff ended, Sparks reportedly tried to avoid arrest by running away on foot. She didn’t get very far before Brown tackled her and she was handcuffed and placed in the rear of a patrol car.

Deputy Reid White assisted Brown in making the arrest.

After being placed in the patrol car, Sparks managed to free her hands from the cuffs and tried to use the cuffs to break the car window.

Sparks’ run-in with authorities followed her reportedly stealing a 2015 Toyota Corolla from a Lockwood Street residence, Brown said in his report.

The deputy said the owner of the vehicle told him that a woman he knew only has Skye had stolen the key to his car from his bedroom and then his car. It happened when the car owner wasn’t in the room.

He said he tried several times to get in touch with the woman, later identified as the suspect, by telephone to get her to return his car, but she didn’t respond. He called the sheriff’s office to report his car as stolen.

While the owner of the car was talking with Brown about the theft, the deputy happened to see a small blue-colored car come to the intersection of North Main and Lockwood streets.

“The vehicle slowed almost to a stop in the middle of the road, and then left north at a high-rate of speed,” Brown said in his report.

The deputy attempted to find the driver of that car and verify whether or not it was the stolen vehicle.

Brown didn’t spot the car until he got to Wilkinson Street. As soon as he spotted the car, he turned to follow it, and then saw the driver run a red light at the intersection of Wilkinson and Franklin streets, according to the report.

The deputy immediately radioed a dispatcher.

Brown said as he topped the hill at the intersection of Franklin and Liberty streets that he saw the car go over the railroad tracks. The driver a stop sign at Tattnall and Hancock streets, and then turned west onto Hancock Street and north onto Irwin Street.

When the deputy caught up with the car, he activated his blue lights and siren, but again, the driver would not stop.

The pursuit went down several other streets before it ended up on the 2300 block of Anthony Way where the driver of the car stopped and ran from the car on foot.

The suspect ran into the yard of a nearby residence where the chase continued around a car.

When a second deputy got to the scene, the suspect stopped running and was placed in handcuffs.

As Brown and White checked the stolen car, Sparks began banging on the rear passenger window of the patrol car.

Milledgeville Police K-9 Officer Linc Boyer later was called to the scene to assist deputies in taking the suspect to the Baldwin County Law Enforcement Center where she was eventually jailed.
