Longview, TX - She’s been arrested over forty times in Gregg and Harrison Counties.

Felesia Meshaun Ford, 40, of Longview, made a plea bargain and recently received eight years probation for leading Lakeport Police Chief Wesley Freeman on a high speed chase last October.Ford finally pulled over, a struggle ensued, and the chief was dragged as Ford drove off,

until he got himself loose and was knocked unconscious when he hit the asphalt.“When she grabbed my arm and got it started and held on to me, and that’s the last thing I remembered,” Freeman said.

The chief was knocked unconscious.

About eight minutes earlier, it started as a speeding offense in Lakeport just south of Longview.

“Running in excess of forty miles an hour in a thirty mile an hour zone,” the chief explained.

By the time he turned around he saw her run a stop sign, and then just run north on Estes Parkway into Longview.

“At that point there I’m at 88 miles per hour,” Freeman said.

She turned on Eastman Road. He thought she would roll the vehicle over, but held on.

“She uses her turn signal when she turns, so I kind of have a heads up on the way we’re going,” Freeman revealed.

But he knew who she was and that she had felony warrants. She went east on I-20, using her blinker again.

"We’re in excess of 90 miles an hour,” Freeman stated.

There was no backup close.

“I was kind of on my own until someone could catch up to me,” Freeman recalled.
