S. Tahoe woman arrested after high-speed chase
A South Lake Tahoe woman was arrested Sunday night after she led multiple law enforcement agencies on a high-speed chase.
Carson City sheriff’s deputies first tried to pull over Samantha Rose Randazzo. The 32-year-old kept going over Spooner Summit, into Douglas County, crossed the state line and was finally stopped near Highway 50 and Tallac Avenue in South Lake Tahoe at 6:15pm Jan. 12.
“The female driver was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon — that being her car — against law enforcement officials,” South Lake Tahoe police Lt. Brian Williams told Lake Tahoe News.
Randazzo reportedly rammed her vehicle into a Carson City sheriff’s vehicle which had successfully positioned itself in a manner to stop the suspect. Capt. Clay Wall with the Carson City department was not available for comment.
Randazzo also faces charges of driving under the influence, driving on a suspended license and felony evading with disregard for public safety.

Apparently the Carson Sheriff actually did NOT position a vehicle successfully to keep the suspect from leaving.
She left.
This woman obviously needs some help to keep her from driving and to get her life in order.
Does this remind anyone of Mr. Halverson? The difference is that nobody died, YET.
