HOUSTON, Dec. 21 (UPI) -- Houston police said an incident began with a Facebook argument between two teens and ended with a high speed chase and the arrest of a woman with a stolen gun.

Harris County sheriff's deputies said a 15-year-old girl at the Irvington Village Housing Project argued Monday morning with a 17-year-old girl on Facebook, leading the second teen and her mother to visit the girl's home, KPRC, Houston, reported Tuesday.

"They started at 8 a.m. texting my phone and then came to my residence and busted my baby in her head," the 15-year-old's mother said.

Investigators said Rayna Polk, a woman who was not involved in the original incident, was questioned about the alleged attack and they pursued her when she fled during the interview.

Deputies said Polk fled in her car and drove the wrong way down several streets while traveling at speeds of more than 90 mph.

"During the course of that chase, when she was running, she dropped a backpack and we recovered a stolen weapon," Lt. Mark Timmers said.

Polk, who surrendered after police blocked her path, was charged with felony evading arrest and possession of a stolen weapon.
