ODESSA - A trio of people failed to get away from Odessa Police twice.

Police say 20-year-old Dominique Blackenship, 17-year-old Deja Ellis and 17-year-old Elijuwon Johnson took them on short chase.

We're told an officer tried to pull them over for having expired registration.

Their car slowed down just long enough for one of men to switch seats with Ellis before taking off.

The trio didn't make it far, they lost control of the car while trying to turn left and hit a traffic light pole.
