MONROE — Sheriff’s deputies arrested a woman Thursday morning after she led them on a pursuit through Monroe.

The pursuit happened at about 10 a.m. after Deputy Alec Preadmore conducted a traffic stop on a motorist for a traffic offense near Jones Avenue and North Monroe Street, Monroe County Sheriff Troy Goodnough reported. Preadmore contacted the driver, who was the sole occupant of the vehicle. During his interaction with the 39-year-old driver, she refused to cooperate and sped off from the traffic stop.

Preadmore pursued the vehicle through several streets in the city of Monroe at speeds up to 45 mph, a news release said. The suspect vehicle continued to flee Preadmore until the pursuit entered a dead-end street where deputies were able to block the suspect vehicle in. At that time, Preadmore along with additional deputies took the driver into custody without further incident.
