From the facts you have provided she needs to get a good criminal defense lawyer to negotiate a good plea bargain. Driving away from the cop sounds like evading arrest to me. The fact that she drove back might serve to mitigate her punishment, but not her guilt. Sort of like taking the person you shot to the hospital.
