When she was finally arrested, the police slammed her to ground and caller her a 'wiry b****'

Newly released video of an Oregon woman's meth-fueled joyride in a stolen cop car has been released and it shows the strung-out 23-year-old singing, screaming and taunting police over the radio as she barrels down a highway at speeds of more than 120 mph.

Additionally, the video shows the arresting officers slam the defenseless woman to the ground while calling her a 'wiry b****.'

In March, Tara Axmaker, who has a very lengthy rap sheet, stabbed a man in the back at a home in Molalla - about 60 miles South of Portland - in the early hours of the morning after a long night of partying.

Joyride: Axmaker's joyride came to an end after she crashed the police cruiser she'd stolen into a ditch

The victim, Kelly Christensen, managed to call police, who responded to the home but could not find Axmaker.

Axmaker, it turned out, managed to find her way into one of the responding police cruisers, which she used to take police on a high-speed chase for nearly 15 minutes.

Video of the chase was released Thursday to the Oregonian newspaper.



The entire joyride was caught on the cruiser's on-board video and audio recorders.



'How do you turn on the lights in these f***ers,' Axmaker is heard saying when she hops into the driver's seat of the cruiser.

Unable to get the lights on, Axmaker started driving anyway, at which point she is heard screaming, 'we're on a high-speed chase, motherf***er,' which is followed by her singing and saying 'drive, Tara - you better not f***ing puke.'

Axmaker continues to babble on about helicopters and telemarketers being controlled by the government - all as the officers who were hot on her trail were listening in as she continued to ramble, oftentimes incoherently.

'I'm Tara motherf***ing Axmaker. The one and only,' she screams...'keep coming for me police - catch me if you can!'

Police cruisers can be seen in the video chasing Axmaker, as she drove at speeds in excess of 120 mph on dark, windey roads.



'Guess what - I'm god and I'm on top of the world,' she screeches, with the police just a few feet behind her. 'This girl can do anything she puts her mind to.'

As the police get closer, Axmaker is heard yelling 'come get some,' as she speeds up.

Axmaker's joyride came to a screeching halt when she went off the road and crashed into a ditch about five miles from where she'd initially stolen the police cruiser.

The pursuing officers then circle the car before one rips her out of the vehicle and slams her on the ground.

'I'm sorry,' Axmaker says to the officers, before being told to 'shut up.'

As the officers continue to manhandle Axmaker, one tells the others 'we're being recorder,' and several begin to back off.



As the officer responsible for the stolen cruiser begins to wonder how Axmaker managed to steal his car, another officer calms him down by telling him, 'she is a wiry bitch. I know her. She's a wiry bitch.'

Axmaker, it was later determined, was high on crystal meth when she took police on her wild ride. It was also found that she had mental health issues that were not being properly treated.



Axmaker ultimately was charged with attempted murder, aggravated theft, attempted assault of a public safety officer, unauthorized use of a vehicle, eluding a police officer and reckless driving.

According to an article in the Oregonian newspaper, she was so disruptive during a court appearance in April that the judge had to remove her from the courtroom.

In September, Axmaker pleaded guilty to attempted second-degree assault.



Prosecutors agreed that the stabbing and joyride were motivated by her drug use and untreated mental health issues.

Axmaker was sentenced to four years in prison.

At sentencing, Axmaker said that she was 'wigged out' the night of the attack and that she was worried that there were people near her who were trying to kill her. She said she plans to enter a drug treatment program while in prison.
