Rochester, N.Y. - A 24-year-old woman from Buffalo has been arrested for crashing a car that was taken from from a Greece gym early this morning.

Rochester Police arrested Brittany Jamison on assault 2nd on a police officer, criminal mischief in the 2nd, unlawful fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle, along with various vehicle and traffic charges.

The car was taken from the Planet Fitness parking lot in Greece. It was recovered four hours later in Rochester.

Sandra Matteson realized something was wrong when she couldn't find her keys after working out.

"We go early, when we go early in the morning it's 5a.m. so there are not a lot of people and we know a lot of the people at that time," said Matteson, "so I just throw my keys in a bag in the locker and i never really think to lock it."

Greece police said the keys to Matteson's vehicle were taken from that unlocked locker in the womens locker room at the gym on Dewey Avenue between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m.

An RPD patrol car stopped the car several hours later on N. Clinton Avenue with Jamison behind the wheel. During the traffic stop the officer ran the plates and realized the car was stolen.

Police say Jamison put the car in reverse, nearly hitting the officer. Police say she then hit the officer's patrol car, ran over a street sign and drove away.

The pursuit came to end on Rt. 490 West near the Culver Road exit when the car crashed into the back of a New York State Trooper's SUV. The car was towed away, and a Jamison was taken into custody.

The woman who had her car stolen is the mother-in-law of 13WHAM photojournalist Jake Honan.

Honan heard about the incident in the morning, then listened to the chase on the police scanners while in the newsroom.

"Normally, we don't know the car, the people or anything, so it was kind of extra adrenaline to find the car that I've ridden in plenty of times before," said Honan, who was assigned to cover the chase.

More charges could be pending.
