In the early hours of Tuesday morning, a police pursuit unfolded at a remarkably slow pace in Tennessee, as numerous patrol cars, complete with flashing lights and wailing sirens, tailed a suspect at a mere 7 mph, as reported by authorities.

A video from Fox17 reveals the unusual spectacle of 28-year-old Katlyn Wray slowly cruising down desolate Nashville highways, closely followed by a convoy of police vehicles.

Once police managed to stop Wray and inquired why she hadn’t pulled over sooner, she reportedly responded, “I’m already on paper for ten years anyway.”

The dramatic but slow-as-molasses chase started just after 3 a.m. when Metro Nashville Police officers found Wray asleep behind the wheel of a stolen Nissan Altima, according to reports. 

As four officers approached, Wray woke up, threw the car in reverse and motored away, according to WTVF.

Officers laid out two sets of spike strips to catch her. Wray hit both of them, flattening her front and back tires, but that didn’t stop her, according to reports. 

She continued to drive on the flat tires for nearly four hours while cops calmly pursued her – traveling at speeds anywhere from 7 mph to a whopping 15 mph, according to WTVF. 

Police helicopters hovering overhead joined in the surreal chase.

Department policy prohibits Metro police from applying a PIT maneuver, a police tactic used to spin out a fleeing car, according to Fox 17. Instead, the Tennessee Highway Patrol was called in to execute the maneuver.

Video taken by Fox17 shows the trooper pitting Wray and officers putting her in handcuffs wearing a pair of pink shorts and a hot pink top.

Wray is charged with two counts of vehicle theft, reckless endangerment and four counts felony evading arrest for Tuesday’s super slow chase, according to reports. 

She was on probation for a November 2023 forgery conviction, and has an extensive criminal history including convictions for aggravated burglary, cocaine possession, criminal simulation and multiple theft convictions around Tennessee, according to reports.
