Burroughs is charged with a felony count of fleeing and eluding a police officer and possession of drug paraphernalia. Sager is charged with providing false identification to law enforcement and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Police said Burroughs was driving on Monday, April 28, when police initiated a traffic stop on Duss Avenue in Harmony. She pulled over at Sheetz in Baden and, when the officer approached for identification, took off on Route 65, leading officers on a mile-and-a-half pursuit before bailing out in Conway, police said.
Sager, a passenger, was taken into custody at Arby’s and gave police a false name. Police said Burroughs was eventually located hiding in a crawl space under a porch. The women were found to be wanted out of Virginia on charges, but were not going to be extradited, police said.
The women were released pending charges, and in the meantime, were running a prostitution ring from a Harmony Township motel, soliciting elderly males through online advertisements, police said.
Police teamed up with Beaver County Detectives office and put together an investigation. One of the detectives went undercover as a john and the girls were apprehended after they agreed to meet at The Mall at Robinson.
Both women remain in Beaver County Jail on $50,000 bond. A preliminary hearing is set for Friday.
