CAPE CORAL, Fla. (WFLA) — An 18-year-old woman was arrested Wednesday night for driving the wrong way and fleeing at speeds of 100 mph in Cape Coral, the Florida Highway Patrol said.

Around 8:53 p.m., troopers tried to pull a 2018 Dodge Charger over, driven by the teen, for a traffic violation.

A PIT maneuver was initiated on the vehicle and authorities placed Dekeyser under arrest.

Dekeyser was arrested for fleeing and eluding, reckless driving, suspended license, and felony drug possession. She was booked into the Lee County Jail.
