A Santa Clarita pursuit suspect is facing several felonies including assault with a deadly weapon after almost injuring a deputy, officials said.

On Tuesday around 8:50 p.m., Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station dispatchers received several calls about an erratic driver near Haskell Canyon and Caraway Lane in Saugus, said Shirley Miller, spokesperson for the station.

“A deputy found a car matching the description and (conducted) a traffic stop,” Miller said.

During the traffic stop, the deputy had reason to believe the driver may be under the influence and to conduct a field sobriety test, according to Miller.

“When he asked the driver to step out of the car, she sped off, taking the deputy with her a few feet,” Miller said.

The vehicle pursuit initiated at slow speeds before ending at the emergency room at Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital, according to Miller.

Deputies arrested the female, whose identity was not released as of Wednesday morning on assault with a deadly weapon, evading, reckless driving and resisting a peace officer, according to Sheriff’s officials.

There were no reported injuries to the driver or deputies involved in the pursuit, according to Miller.
