It’s not every day that you wake up in a recently stolen car to police knocking on the window, but that’s exactly what happened to Ryann Parkes on July 5, according to police.

Eastpointe Detective Lt. Alex Holish said the incident began at 7:20 a.m. on July 5 in the parking lot of the 7-Eleven at the corner of 9 Mile and Hayes in Eastpointe, when Taylor resident Ryann Parkes was awakened by police officers knocking on the window of her 2017 Chrysler Pacifica. The car was not hers, but she allegedly stole it in Taylor on July 2.

“She woke up and decided to run,” Holish said. “She hit the patrol car and almost ran over the officer. He had to jump out of the way.”

Officers pursued her as she continued driving through Eastpointe until she turned the wrong way onto a one-way street, Holish said.

“They had to stop the pursuit for public safety reasons,” he said.

After Eastpointe police called off the pursuit, they continued their pursuit north toward Roseville. There, Roseville police pursued them for a time until they called off the pursuit for safety reasons, Holish said.

At around 7 p.m., nearly 12 hours after the pursuit began, Hazel Park police took over the pursuit, which ended abruptly when the vehicle slowed down.
