Police first noticed 35-year-old taxi driver Krystal Lynette Perkins when she failed to yield to them in Huntsville, Alabama.

No worries, she eventually did yield...after a chase that led police through two states ending in a crash in Lincoln County, Tennessee.


The chase only ended because Perkins intentionally hit one of the Lincoln County patrol vehicles, which caused her to lose control of her American Cab Company vehicle.

Perkins' vehicle ended up in a ditch, after which she was immediately arrested for multiple moving violation charges in Tennessee and Alabama, including felony evading arrest.

When asked why she didn't pull over, Perkins told the deputies, "I just didn't feel like stopping today."

The NY Post also confirmed that Perkins lost her job with the cab company.
