A convicted felon had the joyride of her life early Friday morning when she raced down Oregon 213 in a stolen patrol car while taunting police and singing over the radio system – all with the sheriff deputy's loaded shotgun inside and a semiautomatic rifle in the trunk. Tara Axmaker, 25, of Clackamas is being held without bail in the Clackamas County Jail on accusations of attempted murder, aggravated theft, attempted assault on a public safety officer, vehicle theft, eluding a police officer, reckless driving and two parole violations.
A backup deputy responding to a report of a man stabbed in the 16800 block of South Howards Mill Road in Beavercreek arrived to see another patrol car speeding away without its lights off. The deputy confirmed his colleague's car was stolen and began a pursuit.



Sgt. Adam Phillips, Clackamas County sheriff's spokesman, identified Axmaker as a suspect in the stabbing and the driver of the stolen car. She allegedly stole the first patrol car to arrive at the scene, belting out lyrics to Alicia Keys' "Girl on Fire" and Jefferson Airplane's "Give Me a Ticket to an Aeroplane" as she sped away.

"Give Me a Ticket to an Aeroplane" by Jefferson Airplane? You mean The Letter by the Box Tops?

Tara Elizabeth Axmaker, high on meth, stabbed a man in the back in the wee hours of March 15, 2013, at a Mulino-area home.
When Clackamas County deputies arrived, they found the bloody victim but no Axmaker.
As deputies scoured the crime scene, Axmaker climbed behind the wheel of a responding deputy's patrol car and led the cops on a "Dukes of Hazzard" pursuit down back roads and around blind curves.
The chase, and Axmaker's expletive-filled running commentary, was captured on the patrol car's video cameras and on police radio.
She drove without headlights at speeds that hit 121 mph, finally driving off Oregon 213 as she careened toward Molalla.
Miraculously, no one was injured as Axmaker meandered into the oncoming traffic lane, ignored stop signs and evaded her pursuers.
The Clackamas County Sheriff's Office released the video this week in response to a public records request submitted in October by The Oregonian.
Axmaker pleaded guilty Oct. 15 in Clackamas County Circuit Court to first-degree assault for the attack and to aggravated theft and attempting to elude police. She was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Throughout the 11-minute ride, Axmaker can be heard on singing, swearing and carrying on an incoherent monologue. The audio is sometimes muffled, because Axmaker was sitting on the microphone.
"We're on a high-speed chase (expletive)," she said as she began her misadventure.
The bizarre incident was reminiscent of a 2010 incident. Axmaker, high on meth, stabbed a Canby man in the back (http://www.oregonlive.com/clackamascounty/2010/09/molalla_woman_gets_4_years_for.html). She pleaded guilty to attempted second-degree assault and was sentenced to four years in prison.
