Deputies said Dodaj exited onto State Road 714, speeding through traffic while attempting to elude law enforcement. Along the way, the car smashed into another vehicle, but Dodaj didn't stop.

Eventually, deputies used stop sticks to blow out the car's tires and boxed the car in as it approached Willoughby Boulevard.

Deputies said Dodaj had outstanding warrants in Broward County for grand theft auto, driving with a suspended license and operating a vehicle without a valid license.

Dodaj's passenger, Chastity Constance, 18, was also arrested.
