A Keokuk woman was arrested Tuesday night after stealing a patrol car from the Keokuk Police Department and leading officers on a high-speed chase.

Plowman faces multiple charges, including theft, assault on a peace officer, and interference with official acts.

She was treated for minor injuries before being booked into the Lee County Correctional Center.
