A woman who ran from police in a borrowed vehicle because she said she was nervous has been charged with reckless endangerment.The woman, Teri A. Kemmerer, 24, was allegedly driving on a license which had been suspended twice when she led police on a winding chase through town in a vehicle she had on loan from the friend.According to McMinnville patrolman Justin Shrum, he pulled Kemmerer over on Viola Highway for going 20 mph over the speed limit. However, Shrum said the woman did not wait around for her ticket.“While I was running the tag she took off,” said Shrum, noting he already had written down the tag on the vehicle and was able to drive alongside her at one point. “I pursued the vehicle to a red light, pulled up beside, and saw Ms. Kemmerer was the driver.”Shrum said the suspect ran a red light and drove on the shoulder of the road as the chase traveled through Depot Bottom.
