SALISBURY — An East Spencer woman faces vehicle theft and other related charges after she refused to stop for police in a stolen vehicle.

Jennye Lynn Payne, 46, of the 200 block of Hall Street in East Spencer, was charged Wednesday with felony larceny of a motor vehicle, felony flee to elude arrest and misdemeanor resist, obstruct, delay an officer.

A Salisbury police officer initiated a traffic stop for a reported stolen 2004 Chevrolet Impala at the intersection of East Innes and North Shaver streets, according to an arrest warrant. The woman, later identified as Payne, refused to stop the vehicle and continued driving. She eventually stopped the vehicle and took off on foot. She was apprehended a short time later.

The vehicle belonged to a Lexington man, a warrant said.

She remains in the Rowan County Detention Center under a $20,000 secured bond. Payne was charged a month ago with misdemeanor assault after allegedly cutting someone on the arm with a pocket knife.
