Pursuit Suspect: I Was Trying To Get My Dog Home

David Begnaud's Video Blog On Story

FAIRFIELD (CBS13) ― The woman who was arrested for leading police on a 50-mile high speed chase from Rio Vista to Sacramento says that she was trying to get her dog back to her house.

In a jailhouse interview, 47-year-old Annette Hurd told CBS13 correspondent David Begnaud that her small dog was in her GEO Tracker as she allegedly fled the scene of a hit-and-run accident on Highway 12 in Rio Vista, triggering the pursuit.

Annette said she was tired and a "little bit" intoxicated after swimming all day, but was afraid that her dog would be taken away from her if she was arrested. A warrant in Contra Costa County had already been issued prior to Sunday's pursuit.

"I wasn't worried about me, I was worried about losing my dog," Annette said.

The chase came to a dramatic end on Interstate 5 in Sacramento when a patrol car rammed the suspect's vehicle after spike strips destroyed her tires. ( Watch Raw Video of the pursuit's end.)

"I didn't want to hurt anybody," Annette said, "I wasn't trying to hurt nobody."

Hurd is being held without bail on charges of evading police with disregard to public safety, driving with a suspended license, throwing objects from the vehicle while moving, driving under the influence, possession of a controlled substance, reckless driving, and felony hit and run.

Hurd's dog, Lexus, is safely in the custody of the Humane Society.
