Diamond woman charged with felony fleeing after nearly hitting house during high-speed chase

The Jasper County Prosecuting Attorney's office filed felony aggravated fleeing charges against a Diamond woman who led a Jasper County deputy on a high-speed chase, nearly crashed into a house and then had a 33-minute standoff as she refused to leave her vehicle.

An arrest warrant was issued for Christina Marie Hobia (DOB 1991) with bond set at $5,000 cash or surety.

From the probable cause statement:

On 04-10-2025 at approximately 1041 hours I, Cpl Drake #351, was traveling west on Apple Rd in Diamond, Jasper County, Mo, 64840, when I noticed a blue PT Cruiser at the intersection of County Road 160 and Apple Road waiting at the stop sign. 

The PT Cruiser was facing south and did a U-turn in the middle of the intersection in front of another vehicle and continued to travel north on County Road 160. 

I turned off of Apple Road and went north on County Road 160 to initiate a traffic stop on the vehicle. I noticed the vehicle start to cross over into the middle of the roadway and go completely in the south bound lane. 

As I tried to catch up with the vehicle, it continued to get further away. I noticed the vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed while continuing to be in the middle of both lanes. I activated my lights and sirens to initiate a traffic stop. The vehicle continued at a high rate of speed. The vehicle started to come to a stop as if they were stopping for me and then accelerated at a high rate of speed again. 

I pursued the vehicle until it abruptly turned into a driveway, address of 16280 Beech Ln, and continued down the driveway at a high rate of speed. The vehicle hit the brakes and the tires locked up and slid through the grass in the yard. I noticed the vehicle coming close to hitting the side of the house. The vehicle came to a complete stop next to the house in the yard. 

A felony car stop was conducted and I gave the driver commands to exit the vehicle. The driver continued to ignore commands for 33 minutes. I continued giving commands over my PA system on my patrol vehicle. The driver continued to ignore commands. 

Other deputies on scene stacked up on each other and approached the vehicle with a bullet proof shield. They got to the driver side window and they had to bust the driver side window out Deputies assisted her out of the vehicle as she continued to actively resist. 

I placed handcuffs on Christina and placed her in my patrol vehicle. I read her Miranda rights to her and I explained to her why she is being detained at this time, she said she understood her rights.

Christina said she didn’t know why she didn’t stop for me.
