WALSENBURG, COLO. (AP) -- A Colorado judge has ruled that allegations from other states can be used in a case against a woman accused in a crime spree.

Lee Grace Doughery has pleaded not guilty to attempted second-degree murder, assault and other charges related to a high-speed chase and what authorities say was a shootout before her capture Aug. 10.

Her trial is set for Feb. 21. Her two brothers are also facing charges.

During a hearing Monday, the judge ruled that all events leading up to the woman's arrest can be introduced at trial, including crimes she is accused of committing with her brothers in Florida and Georgia.

The trio is accused of shooting at a police officer in Florida and robbing a bank in Georgia.
