A woman demanded a “fee” of $300,000 from police for her to pull over after a bizarre car chase.
It all began when Jennifer Herring, 37, of Myrtle Beach, refused to stop for a traffic violation.
Despite the deputy’s blue lights and siren, Herring kept driving about 70 mph in a 45 zone.
She called 911 through her cellphone to negotiate with the dispatcher her asking price of $300,000 for her to stop.
“If you want to pay the 300 grand, I’ll pull over for you,” she said in the 911 call released by authorities. “That is my offer and I’m asking you to accept it.”
The chase ended when she hit a dead end and was boxed in in a driveway.
Herring was charged with driving while impaired, felony fleeing to elude arrest, driving while license revoked, careless and reckless driving, and driving left of center. She was also arrested on an outstanding warrant for failure to appear in a previous DWI case.
