An obsessive woman has been jailed after a car chase with police – who were trying to help her boyfriend escape her clutches.
Kirsty Hargreaves pursued a police car containing Michael Mowforth after he begged them to help him leave her.
But she refused to let him get away and dangerously chased the West Yorkshire Police vehicle in her car.
Hargreaves caused oncoming cars to swerve as she crossed white lines and drove alongside the unmarked police car because she wanted to persuade her partner not to leave, Leeds Crown Court heard.
She followed Mowforth from Rothwell to Elland Road Police Station before hitting the police car after following it through a security barrier in the early hours of March 27.
A female officer suffered a chest injury when she was pushed into a barrier while trying in vain to stop Hargreaves running into the police station.
Hargreaves, of Northfield Place, Rothwell, admitted dangerous driving and assaulting a police officer.
She was jailed for ten months and handed an 18-month driving ban.
The couple have now made up and Mr Mowforth is planning to visit Hargreaves behind bars.
