DWI SUSPECT STEALS DPS CRUISER IN MADISON COUNTY

  

Authorities say shots were fired Friday night during a pursuit in Madison County, after a DWI suspect reportedly stole a state trooper's patrol vehicle.

According to a Department of Public Safety supervisor on the scene, it all started with a traffic stop on the east side of Normangee.

A woman was taken into custody for allegedly driving while intoxicated.  The woman, who was handcuffed, somehow managed to get her hands from behind her back, climbed into the driver's seat, and fled in the vehicle.

She was pursued by authorities, who fired several shots during the chase.  No one was hit or injured.

The stolen vehicle was eventually stopped, and the woman was taken into custody. Her name is not being released at this time.
