The officer made contact with the driver, identified as Ashley M. Hicks (age 35) and she verbalized to the officer she was going to flee.

Ashley then fled from the officer westbound on Defiance Ave. She made a left turn onto N. West St. and traveled southbound to W. High St., east on W. High St. to N. Cory St., south on N. Cory St. to Washington St., westbound on Washington St. to S. West St., south on S. West St. to W. Front St., and then westbound on W. Front St. to the 500 block where she finally pulled over.

Ashley was later incarcerated at the Hancock County Justice Center on charges of Fleeing and Eluding (F4) and Obstructing Official Business (M2).
