WOMAN CHARGED FOR ELUDING POLICE
Denver
District Attorney Bill Ritter
Jr., has formally filed charges against a woman accused of
eluding police officers in Denver on November 14, 2003.
Stephanie
Redearth
(DOB:
3-21-78) was charged with vehicular eluding (F4),
aggravated motor vehicle theft (F4), vehicular
assault/recklessness (F5) and third degree assault
(F3).
The charges
allege that Officer Heck stopped Redearth for driving a stolen
vehicle at Dartmouth and Federal Ave. When he attempted to open
the driver’s side door, the suspect sped off, running over
Officer Heck’s foot. Responding officer Nuannez followed the
suspect and attempted to pull her over. Redearth did not pull
over and continued on towards Dartmouth and Zuni where she ran a
red light and struck a Ford Expedition. She continued southbound
on Zuni and came to rest after hitting a street sign and a
fence. Redearth was apprehended at the scene and was taken to
Denver Health Medical Center for treatment. The driver of the
Expedition suffered minor injuries and the passenger, who was
ejected, suffered serious head injuries. Both were taken to
DHMC for treatment.
Redearth
remains in jail and is scheduled to appear in Denver County
Courtroom 12T on November 24,
2003 at 9:00 am for her second advisement.
