Bodycam footage caught the moment Atlanta police rammed a suspected cellphone robber’s SUV while chasing her on a busy highway.
The footage showed officers initially cornering Jenee Johnson, 36, at a carwash Wednesday as they hunted for a robber who stole an elderly woman’s cellphone at gunpoint, Atlanta police said.
The female driver initially appears to follow orders to hold up her hands — just to quickly back up and spin around, fleeing as other squad cars arrive.
The footage then shows the dark Mazda SUV swerving as squad cars chase on either side of the busy, three-lane Interstate 285.
Suddenly, one of the police cars uses a PIT maneuver — ramming the SUV from behind to send it spinning backward and into the median of the road.
The SUV eventually came to a violent stop — with the driver, wearing a skimpy, bra-like top, barely waiting for it to stop to jump out and try to run away.
Johnson was charged with armed robbery, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, theft by receiving stolen property, and fleeing or attempting to elude police, according to the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office.
