Deputies from the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office arrested Cierra Blake, 30 - who is wanted in Washington and Anne Arundel counties - on multiple charges after taking police on a wild chase and attempting to flee.
Members of the sheriff’s office attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a gray Honda in the area of Route 85 and FKS Drive in Frederick at approximately 2:15 p.m. on Wednesday, June 8, when they were alerted to a stolen registration plate on the vehicle.
A spokesperson for the sheriff’s office said that the driver - later identified as Blake - initially stopped on the I-70 off-ramp, partially rolling down the window before rolling it back up and speeding away east on the interstate.
According to the sheriff's office, the deputies pursued the vehicle onto Route 144 west toward Patrick Street before getting back onto I-70.
During the chase, speeds approached 115 mph, officials said, prompting the sheriff’s office to call off the pursuit.
Shortly after the chase was terminated, the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office began receiving 911 calls regarding the suspect vehicle and two suspects matching the description investigators provided, which pulled into a backyard in the 6200 block of White Oak Drive and fled from that location.
Upon arrival, deputies were able to locate a male suspect - whose name has not been released - in the backyard of the home, and Blake was tracked to a shed in a separate home on White Oak Circle.
Blake was transported to the Frederick County Adult Detention Center, where she was charged with:
- Resisting or interfering with arrest;
- Burglary;
- Obstructing and hindering;
- Fleeing a traffic stop;
- Multiple vehicle and traffic violations.
“The pursuit was terminated due to the danger to the public, police, and the offenders we were pursuing,” Frederick County Sheriff Lt. Jason Deater said.
“I would like to thank the members of the community who began calling police shortly after we terminated the pursuit who provided the police with accurate, detailed information that led to the apprehension of the subjects involved in the pursuit."
