Loxahatchee Woman Faces Court Over Mar-a-Lago Chase | Charleston News

A Florida woman, 29-year-old Alexa Rae Scharf, faces serious charges after a high-speed chase near Mar-a-Lago that began when she allegedly drove into a Secret Service checkpoint, lied about being there for a car wash, and then sped off—crashing through a gate and fleeing police before they finally stopped her with stop sticks.

The officer involved followed protocol, and Scharf’s court appearance today will focus on bond and next steps as the Secret Service remains silent.
