VILLA PARK, Ill.<\/strong> – A Chicago<\/a> woman is facing multiple charges after allegedly leading suburban police on a high-speed chase in a stolen car<\/a> early Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

Molly Borowski, 31, was charged with possession of a stolen vehicle, two counts of aggravated fleeing and eluding, and possession of burglary tools in connection with the incident, according to the DuPage County State\u2019s Attorney\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

What we know:<\/p>\n

Around 3:20 a.m. on Tuesday, a Villa Park<\/a> police officer tried to stop the reported stolen car near North Avenue and Joyce Avenue.<\/p>\n

The car had been wanted for fleeing numerous jurisdictions, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

The officer pursued the suspect car, which reached speeds as high as 109 mph and had only one headlight on. Police later identified the driver as Borowski.<\/p>\n

The driver allegedly drove through red lights.<\/p>\n

Police used spike strips on North Avenue to disable the car\u2019s front tires. While it slowed down, Borowski allegedly continued to flee onto Interstate 290, where her car came to a stop.<\/p>\n

Borowski was then taken into custody. Prosecutors said she told the officers she fled because she “knows how DuPage County is” and preferred to be in Chicago.<\/p>\n

Officers also found four credit cards issued to other people, a credit card reader\/programmer device in her car, and a window punch tool in her purse.<\/p>\n

“For the second time in a week, the Villa Park Police Department demonstrated their professionalism and dedication to public safety and the rule of law by successfully and safely bringing a defendant accused of leading police on a high-speed chase in a stolen vehicle into custody,” said DuPage County State\u2019s Attorney Robert Berlin in a statement. “The type of behavior alleged in this case, that puts innocent motorists and the officers involved at risk, will not be tolerated in DuPage County.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What’s next:<\/p>\n

A judge ordered Borowski to remain in jail as she awaits trial.<\/p>\n

Her next court appearance is scheduled for Sept. 22.<\/p>\n
