Earlier this week, police in Meriden, Connecticut, tried to pull over 26-year-old Natasha Ramos-Bauza for speeding. As soon as the officer turned on his lights, the woman put the pedal to the metal and tried to make a break for it.

Police gave chase for a while, clocking her more than 100 mph in a 50 mph lane. The arrest report provided by the city’s local paper, Daily Voice, noted she was driving erratically—weaving through traffic lanes and swerving.

After some distance, police gave up the chase. However, they were able to track her car to her house after running her license plate. There, police took her into custody and arrested her.

She was released on a $5,000 bail and admitted to police that she fled because she didn’t want a criminal record. If she had submitted to the ticket, she could have driven away with a wounded ego and a $162 ticket. Instead, she has reckless driving, engaging police in a pursuit, improper passing, and failure to maintain a lane on her record.

Readers stood with police on this one

When NBC Connecticut posted their own story about Ramos-Bauza, 61 people commented about her decision to flee versus take the ticket.

One reader noted that her record isn’t the only thing she should be worried about.

“Well, this will mess up her record and her insurance premium,” wrote a viewer.

Someone else said they were thankful that no one got hurt.

“That’s no excuse for speeding on the highway, and she could have killed somebody,” they wrote. “Now she has more serious problems, and that’s her fault. I hate driving on the highways because of people like her.”

Another said going triple digit speed on the highway was excessive.

“I don’t understand why anyone needs to go that damn fast,” they said.
