BLUE GRASS, Iowa (CBS Local) -- A 13-year-old girl accused of driving a stolen minivan was arrested early Sunday after leading police officers in eastern Iowa on a late-night chase with speeds exceeding 100 mph, authorities say.

The driver was arrested and held in the Scott County Juvenile Detention Center.

The lone adult in the stolen vehicle, 18-year-old Dramya Holt, was arrested on theft and attempted burglary charges. She's being held in the Scott County Jail on $10,000 bail.

The other passengers, aged 13 to 15, were released to their parents with pending charges, Blue Grass Police said in a statement.

Police say the minivan had been stolen in Rock Island, Illinois, across the Mississippi River from Davenport.
