Police say a San Angelo woman crashed a stolen pickup into San Angelo police headquarters tonight. The incident happened after a chase that began in the 18-hundred block of West Beauregard.
Police say Amanda Jeffries, 27, took a white pickup truck–and, after the theft was confirmed with the owner– police pursued Jeffries driving the stolen truck for about four minutes down Beauregard.
The chase ended when Jeffries smashed into the administration offices of the downtown San Angelo police headquarters.
According to the police, Jeffries was driving without one of the truck’s tires.
Sounds like she was hell on three wheels.

New York state police said a man shot his girlfriend during a fight over whether a zombie outbreak as seen on AMC’s “The Walking Dead” could actually happen.
Nassau County Detective Lt. Raymond Cote said Jared Gurman, 26, argued via text messages with his girlfriend, Jessica Gelderman, 27, about the possibility of a zombie uprising.
Cote said Gelderman became worried about Gurman, as the argument became heated, and she decided to go to his Williston Park home to calm him down, the report said.
Gelderman attempted to talk to Gurman and enter his home, but he shot her with a .22-caliber rifle, police said.
Gurman drove Gelderman to the hospital, where she was treated for a shattered rib, a pierced lung and a pierced diaphragm.
