“The driver of the SUV ignored the lawful order and accelerated, initiating a vehicle pursuit,” the West Miami police officer wrote.
Fonseca “proceeded to flee” speeding southbound on Southwest 57 Avenue and showing a “reckless disregard” for others’ safety, as she was “weaving between lanes, making abrupt lane changes ... exceeding posted speed limits.”
The dead end where Fonseca surrendered and the police officer arrested her at about 1 a.m., was near Southwest 59 Avenue and Ninth Terrace.
Inmate records show correctional deputies booked her at 3:10 a.m. at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, where she remained Friday night.
Prosecutors filed a case against Fonseca for fleeing or attempting to elude a law enforcement officer, a second-degree felony. Her bond was $2,500.
Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge Carlos Lopez is set to preside over her case.
