PEARLAND, Texas—Two women are in custody charged with leading Pearland police on a high-speed chase that started over some beer.

Police say 43-year-old Crystal Scott and 35-year-old Katina Barley stole eight cases of beer from the Kroger store at the intersection of 518 and Cullen.

They raced from the scene in a white Dodge Durango at speeds of more than 100 miles an hour. It happened on Saturday and police released video of the chase on Wednesday.

"They definitely put the public at risk. It is just a beer theft, but when they start running from police they bump that up to a felony," said Lt. Oneismo Lopez with the Pearland Police Department.
