Officer Courtney Vassell, whose patrol car was behind Spen's with its flashing lights on, exited his car and told the woman to pull out of line and into the parking lot for a traffic stop. However, police said she instead finished her order, received her food and pulled out of the parking lot onto Northwest Sixth Court.
Vassell said he turned on his siren and stopped Spen outside the McDonald's, where he said she "rolled her window down one inch and said she was not speeding and she would not roll her window down."
He said the woman refused to show her license, registration and proof of insurance before driving away.
Several other police vehicles joined the pursuit and removed Spen from her car by force when she stopped at a gas station.
She was arrested and charged with fleeing and eluding, resisting arrest without violence and driving with defective equipment.
