"textContent": "Two people were arrested last month after police said they were stopped in a stolen vehicle and tried to flee the scene in Montgomery County, authorities say.\n\nThe incident happened March 18 when officers say they saw a vehicle traveling erratically at a high rate of speed. A license plate check showed the tag had been reported stolen.\n\nThe vehicle eventually stopped in traffic, and officers approached and ordered the driver to turn off the engine. Police say the driver instead tried to drive off, striking two vehicles.\n\nBoth occupants were taken into custody without injury, and the vehicle was confirmed stolen, police said.\n\nVideo posted to the Montgomery County Police Department Facebook page shows the incident unfold. \"This video shows how quickly situations can escalate - and how officers respond in real time to help keep our community safe,\" the department wrote.",
