Sidney police say the female who was driving a grey Scion in the drive-thru line of McDonald’s was believed to have started a fight and struck another person.

She told officers that she was not involved in the incident and lied twice about who she was, according to the Sidney Police Department.

When police asked her to pull into a parking spot, she fled the scene and led cruisers on a high-speed pursuit with speeds exceeding 90 mph.

Investigators say charges are pending in regard to the incident, but details on the type of charges are unavailable.
