The car chase involved the Santa Clara County Sheriff's and the San Jose and Campbell police departments, leaving one Santa Clara County Sheriff's car damaged and its officer hospitalized.

On Nov. 27 at 9:35 p.m., a sheriff's deputy observed a green Ford Expedition run a red light at southbound Leland and Moorpark avenues, according to Santa Clara County Sheriff's spokesman Deputy Terrance Helm. When the sheriff's department attempted to pull the vehicle over, the driver, a 22-year-old woman, Robin Feelie, refused to stop, and continued to drive onto the entrance of Interstate 280 heading south.

Feelie then drove her SUV off the 280 exit onto Vine Street heading toward Willow Street, Helm said. The driver proceeded into a residential part of Willow Glen at speeds between 60 to 80 miles per hour, occasionally veering onto the wrong side of the road. Because the vehicle was driving dangerously, the sheriff's deputy terminated his pursuit, and the California Highway Patrol picked up the chase via helicopter, keeping deputies informed of the vehicle's location.

According to Helm, county communications informed the sheriff's office that the Expedition matched a vehicle operated by an individual wanted by the San Jose Police Department for a bank robbery. That's when the police department picked up the chase at Hamilton and Norman avenues in Willow Glen.

Helm said the chase continued to Spruance Street in San Jose, where a sharp turn in the road forced Feelie to brake suddenly. The Expedition collided with a deputy's vehicle, he said, causing damage to the car and injuring the officer. Despite the accident, Feelie continued to evade the police.

The pursuit eventually came into the city of Campbell, Helm said, with the driver traveling on S. Bascom Avenue near the Pruneyard Shopping Center, where her SUV sideswiped two more vehicles and then lost a tire.

Campbell Police Sgt. Chris Milosovich said that Campbell Police monitored the chase on the radio and at one point were asked to deploy the department's spike strips to stop the SUV. But the Campbell police were unable to deploy the strips on time and Feelie drove the SUV outside city limits riding with one wheel on its rim.

The chase eventually ended at Capitol Expressway and Senter Road, Helm said, when the Expedition ran out of gas. The San Jose Police Department took the driver into custody.

Although she was not involved in the bank robbery, Feelie was driving a stolen vehicle, according to San Jose Police Department spokeswoman Gina Teeporten. She was also wanted on a parole violation. Officers arrested Feelie for vehicular theft, evading the police, misdemeanor hit and run and assault with a deadly weapon, a charge incurred when she rammed the deputy's car. Since the incident, Feelie made bail and was later release, Teeporten said.

According to Helm, the chase left one deputy hospitalized with minor injuries when his car was rammed by Feelie's Expedition. He was admitted to the hospital on Nov. 27 and released Nov.30.
