A Georgia woman was given a suspended sentence Monday in Northampton Circuit Court for eluding police.

Twenty-seven-year-old Jakerra Telise Hester, of Atlanta, pleaded guilty to a felony count of eluding police in connection with an Oct. 20, 2022 incident. She was given a three-year suspended sentence. A misdemeanor count of driving 107 mph in a 55-mph-zone on Lankford Highway in Eastville on the same day was not prosecuted.
