Aerial footage from Chopper 6 showed the end of the chase and the woman in the water.

During a struggle, she scratched one Miami-Dade officer and briefly pushed a Doral officer underwater, the report said.
The officers were able to eventually get her to the ledge and take her out of the water.
Logan, of North Carolina, was booked into jail on several charges including grand theft of a vehicle, two counts of battery on a police officer, fleeing and eluding police, leaving the scene of a crash, and resisting an officer.
