Vermont woman answers to charges of NH police chase that injured 3 officers
ST. JOHNSBURY, Vt. (WCAX) – A Vermont woman pleaded not guilty Monday to accusations she stole a truck, hit multiple police cruisers, and led police on a chase that crossed state borders.
Marisa Levesque, 42, of Groton, faces Vermont charges of operating without owner’s consent, grossly negligent operation, and eluding police.
The charges stem from Friday’s incident where police say she stole a man’s truck from a cafe in Gorham, New Hampshire, where the owner had left it running. She then led police on a chase through several towns and into Vermont, where she was eventually stopped with spike strips in Barnet.
Police also say she hit two cruisers in New Hampshire and caused minor injuries to three officers.
Court paperwork says Levesque will be extradited to New Hampshire to face several charges there, including assault, reckless conduct with a deadly weapon, and disobeying an officer.
