GLENDO — Troopers with the Wyoming Highway Patrol were involved in a vehicle pursuit spanning over 47 miles Thursday on Interstate 25 in Platte County that resulted in three arrests, according to a news release from the WHP.
At approximately 12:51 p.m., a WHP trooper observed a 2017 Hyundai Accent passenger car speeding 103 mph in a posted 80 mph zone near Glendo around milepost 104.
When the trooper stopped the vehicle, the driver gave the trooper her driver’s license before speeding off and leading the trooper on a pursuit. During the pursuit, speeds reached well over 100 mph on several occasions. A trooper ahead of the pursuit was able to successfully deploy a tire deflation device at milepost 57. The vehicle then pulled over and all three individuals within the vehicle were taken into custody without incident.
The driver of the Hyundai has been identified as 27-year-old Elbert, Colorado, resident Brittany Chriss.
Both passengers within the vehicle were also arrested. They were identified 38-year-old Johnny Rineheart, of Denver, and 38-year-old Amy Dwyer, of Aurora, Colorado.
Calls to County Attorney Doug Weaver to find out what charges the three are facing were not returned as of press time.
