"It's shocking and hard to believe. But it did happen," Chad Chatman said. Chatman manages the Fast Lane convenience store on Highway 61 in Vicksburg where two suspects stole a car Wednesday morning.

"This gentleman pulled up in a Cadillac car and came in the store to purchase something," Chatman said. But before he could even get inside the store, the car -- which he left running -- took off down Highway 61 and onto the interstate.

"The two young ladies jumped in the car, backed up and almost hit a truck over there," Chatman said.

Police say the women were on the run in a stolen Honda Civic when it got a flat tire. So, they stopped at Fast Lane and picked up some biscuits and a new ride. The next thing police know are the women are arrested in Birmingham, Alabama, but not without a fight.

"The first word I said to my supervisor was modern day Thelma and Louise," said Sgt. Tom Wilson of the Vicksburg Police Department.

But their names were Tonya Hafley and Dorrie Hughes, 19- and 20-year-old sisters. Police say the women ran from officers before crashing into a roadblock with the stolen Cadillac. [...]
