(KNZA)--A Florida woman is jailed in Jackson County following a two-county pursuit.

Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse said the Sheriff's Office received multiple calls early Friday evening about a dark colored SUV driving at a high rate of speed on U.S. 75 Highway and passing vehicles on the shoulder.

A deputy attempted to stop the Jeep Cherokee north of Holton near 262nd Road and a chase ensued. The vehicle fled south on Highway 75 and through the city of Holton.

Deputies attempted use Stop Sticks south of Holton, but failed. The vehicle eventually entered Shawnee County, where further attempts to stop the vehicle failed.

The vehicle continued south across the Kansas River and into the city of Topeka, where the suspect stopped the vehicle at 10th and Warren Streets.

The driver, identified as 23-year-old Engy Kerr, of South Daytona, Florida, was taken into custody and transported to the Jackson County Jail. Kerr was booked on charges of fleeing and eluding, reckless driving and numerous other traffic offenses.
