Charges are pending against a woman who allegedly slipped out of handcuffs, stole a patrol car and led police on a chase

Michigan State Police troopers from the Grand Rapids post responded to a report of domestic violence Saturday evening about 8:30.

Officials say as a trooper arrested a woman, she began struggling and bit the trooper as she was taken into custody.

While police spoke to others at the scene, the woman slipped out of her handcuffs and stole a patrol vehicle.

As other police units pursued her, the woman eventually crashed the vehicle and was taken to jail to await multiple charges.

One trooper was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
