NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) - A woman is in jail after leading authorities on a chase, crashing into a business and getting away from officers, for a short time.

North Richland Hills Police said a Tarrant County deputy tried to pull the woman over around 3:30 p.m. Wednesday for traffic-related offenses.

That's when police said she tried ramming the deputy twice, drove off and crashed into an AT&T store on Grapevine Highway in Hurst.

While a North Richland Hills officer tried taking the woman into custody, the officer "fired their service weapon," police said in a news release.

Police did not say why the gun was fired, but the suspect took off again.

Police later found her  and her banged up Hyundai sedan at a Wells Fargo on Precinct Line Road in Hurst, where she appeared to be skimming credit card information off the drive up ATM.
