Authorities say a 14-year-old girl faces several charges after a nearly 100-mile chase at speeds of more than 100 mph at times.

The Colorado State Patrol says the girl, whose name wasn't released, led officers on a chase Tuesday from Arriba in eastern Colorado to Aurora. State Patrol spokeswoman Health Cobbler says the chase started at about 7 a.m. when the teen allegedly didn't pay for $35 in gas.

Cobbler says the girl's car was stopped when "stop sticks" put down by the State Patrol punctured the tires.

Authorities say the girl was reported missing the previous night and the car she was driving was reported stolen out of Westminster.

She faces charges of eluding, speeding and theft.

Her hometown wasn't available.

geez, starting a little early, aren't ya???? would like to know where kids are learning this kind of stuff. When I was that age, I was playing with dolls and dreaming of my wedding day when I grew up. Or what I wanted to be when I grew up. NEVER did I get the urge to steal a car and lead police on a high speed car chase. What has happened to our kids? The stuff that is all over television says a lot also. No morals or values anymore. Sad.

Why was she reported 'missing'? How long was she 'missing'? Where did she get the stolen car? Did she steal it herself? Where was she going? So many questions I doubt will be answered but we are all curious about.
