A North Georgia woman is accused of trying to cash a bad check before leading cops on a high-speed chase Tuesday afternoon, authorities confirmed.

Becker faces charges of identity fraud, forgery, narcotics possession, felony fleeing, speeding in a school zone, reckless conduct, going inside a guard line with drugs, suspended license, reckless driving and failure to maintain lane, the news station reported.
She remains in the Coweta County Jail without bond.
