A woman was charged with trafficking drugs and fleeing from law enforcement on Dawson Springs Road in Christian County Thursday morning.
Christian County Sheriff’s deputies say Sheriff Tyler DeArmond attempted to stop a vehicle that fit the description of a stolen vehicle on Dawson springs Road near Pleasant Green Church Road and the driver 43-year-old Stephanie Newell fled at speeds of almost 100 mph.
The pursuit reportedly came to an end when DeArmond used a pursuit intervention technique at Kentucky 1026.
After a search of the vehicle, deputies say a large amount of meth was found. The vehicle was not the stolen vehicle law enforcement was looking for.
Newell was charged with first-degree fleeing or evading police, trafficking meth speeding, improper passing, and first-degree criminal mischief.
