Warren woman to spend 3 years behind bars after chase through Trumbull County

A Warren woman convicted of leading police on a half-hour chase through Trumbull County was sentenced Thursday.
Twenty-two-year-old Quannita Pruitt will spend the next three years in prison after police said she led them on the pursuit when officers tried to pull her over back in September.
Police say they chased a man who had jumped out of the car, using their tasers to eventually stop the suspect, who was later identified as 25-year-old Brian Atkins of Warren.
Police began chasing the SUV after spotting it near the Walmart in Bazetta Township.
Police from several communities along the way and sheriff’s deputies, and state troopers joined the pursuit that ended at Merriweather Street and Southern Boulevard NW when police say Pruitt was captured on foot.
