Wakulla County on Tuesday.
49 year old Evelyn Karrey Hart

Miss Hart crashed near the St. Marks Wildlife Refuge.
Law enforcement had been on the
lookout for the fugitive who was wanted for the theft of checks and the forging
of checks collected during area burglaries.
Just after 11 o’clock Tuesday
morning, detectives spotted Miss Hart’s vehicle on Highway 98 in Medart.
Officer made contact with Hart at
an automotive business but when they approached her vehicle, Miss Hart drove
off nearly striking one of the detectives with her car.
The pursuit proceeded eastbound
on Highway 98 at speeds over 100 miles per hour.
Detectives broke off the chase because
of the high speeds but soon found the vehicle crashed into a tree on Robinson
Hill Road.
Miss Hart had fled on foot.
She was quickly found trying to
cross Jack Crum Road toward the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge.
During the arrest, Hart was found

arrest without violence, possession of cocaine, possession of drug
paraphernalia, burglary, grand theft and an out of county warrant in the Medart
incident.

Wakulla County burglaries as deputies discovered stolen property inside her
vehicle.
Investigators estimate that Hart
will have more than 130 warrants from all the arresting agencies once the
investigation concludes.
