SPRING VALLEY – A 25-year-old Nyack woman is being treated at Nyack Hospital after police said she sped away from officers in her four-door sedan late Saturday, went airborne and flew into the former Spring Valley Flea Market.

Shannon Stanislas is in custody at the hospital and held on an outstanding warrant for fourth-degree grand larceny — the reason deputies from the Rockland County Sheriff's Office approached her vehicle at 11:40 p.m.

"She was in a parked car in Spring Valley right around the corner from the flea market," said Chief of Patrol William Barbera. "Our officers approached her. They engaged her in conversation. She rolled up the window, lit up a cigarette and (was) off like a shot."

"Within 30 seconds she launched her car about 50 feet into the building," Barbera said. "She went airborne."

The incident happened at the rear of the flea market building, which is at 122 E. Central Ave. Only the rear bumper of the 2004 gray Suzuki sedan was visible from the parking after the crash, which brought police and firefighters to the scene.

Police did not have details on Sunday about the felony grand larceny charge for which Stanislas was being sought. There were also no details on the extent of her injuries but police said they were not life-threatening.
