Lebanon Police arrested a woman Monday who they say took them on a four county high speed chase.
Police say that driver is Christina Matheison, 36, College Grove.
The chase began outside Cash City in Lebanon.
Employees in the business alerted police after checking Matheison's record and finding a check fraud warrant.
"She's been in here before and recognized her immediately," said Manager jerris Chaney.
Chaney says employees tried to stall Matheison until police arrived but they were unable to stop her.
Lt. Brent Willett says she even drug one of his officers a short distance as he was trying to put her vehicle in park.
"She was in reverse and I saw officer Bringhurst hanging on to the car she probably drug him 12 to 15 feet," said Willett.
The chase sped onto I-40, then to I-840 down to Murfreesboro and on east along I-24 to exit 97 and up Manchester Pike.
Eventually authorities were able to stop the vehicle when it hit spike strips in Murfreesboro and flipped multiple times by Richard Fuller's house.
"I just thought it hit the house it was a loud crash it was a big boom sound," said Fuller.
Matheison was taken to Vanderbilt Medical Center With non life threatening injuries.
She faces Aggravated Assault, Reckless Endangerment, Resisting Arrest, Evading Arrest and Vandalism charges.
Matheison was also wanted on a fraud warrant in Virginia.

BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan (AP) -- With Afghan troops increasingly leading combat operations on the ground, the Afghan Air Force's fledgling helicopter fleet based in Kabul has learned new techniques to support them from the air.
The U.S. Army's 101st Combat Aviation Brigade started a new training program at Bagram Air Field for Afghan helicopter pilots to learn how to perform air assault missions, which they have started to use in combat operations.
101st Combat Aviation Brigade Commander Col. Paul Bontrager said the Afghans need to be weaned off American aviation during the drawdown of U.S. forces this year.
The ability of Afghan helicopters to quickly drop soldiers into combat is a new and critical role.
