CENTER LINE, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) - A 26-year-old Detroit woman is charged with allegedly firing shots in a road rage incident in Center Line and fleeing police.

According to Center Line police, Carmelita Frye was driving her mother's Dodge Journey and allegedly fired shots at another vehicle. Police responded to the alleged road rage incident and attempted to pull Frye over. Frye fled police and entered the Center Line Preparatory Academy parking lot, weaving in and out of people and cars.

Eventually, Frye stopped the vehicle and police were able to arrest her. 

Frye is charged with fleeing and eluding third-degree (five-year felony), carrying a concealed weapon (five-year felony) and felony firearm (mandatory two-year felony).
