A Tulsa woman was arrested on numerous charge after allegedly leading police on a dangerous car chase through Broken Arrow Monday.

Ashley Marie Aguilar was arrested shortly after 5:30 p.m. and booked at the Tulsa County Jail on charges of driving while intoxicated, fleeing and eluding (endangering others), malicious damage to property, leaving the scene of a property damage accident, assault with dangerous weapon and registration and proof of insurance violations. Aguilar has a court date of July 22.

Broken Arrow police confirmed the incident happened but would not share further details. 

In a post on social media, a witness, Crystal Fukijawa, said the chase started as a hit and run accident at the intersection of Houston Street and Olive Avenue. Fukijawa said Aguilar hit her pickup truck at the intersection.

She said the Aguilar then backed up and crossed oncoming traffic, ran the red light driving erratically and pulled into a private residence on the west side of Olive, “where we caught up with her and pinned her in to try to keep her from causing a fatality,” Fukijawa said. “She hit our truck three more times as we were blocking the driveway and on 911 reporting. 

“The fourth time she backed up 30 yards to charge at us and would have hit us head on, but we backed up just in time.”

Fukijawa wrote the woman continued north on Olive and hit another car at the intersection, did a u-turn in oncoming traffic and pulled into the Foundations Church parking lot. 

“We kept a safe distance while awaiting police arrival. She parked, got out of the car, got back in car and charged at us again then driving in circles trying to get out of the parking lot.”

Police arrived and Fukijawa said Aguilar charged at the police car, but did not hit the officer, and police pursued her eastbound on Kenosha Street, where she turned into StoneMill neighborhood and was apprehended by police after she hit a parked car.
