I-65 police chase through Jackson, Bartholomew counties leads to arrest

A police chase through Jackson and Bartholomew counties Sunday afternoon led to the arrest of a Chicago woman.

According to Indiana State Police, a trooper patrolling near Seymour noticed a speeding vehicle headed northbound on Interstate 65 at about 5:15 p.m. Sunday afternoon. The trooper tried to pull the vehicle over in northern Jackson County, but the driver refused to stop and continued northbound, where Bartholomew County deputies and Columbus police joined in the pursuit.

The driver was finally slowed when a tractor trailer driver put on the brakes about a mile south of the Columbus exit. The driver was forced to stop where police took her into custody. A four-month-old child in the vehicle was not properly restrained, troopers say.

32-year-old Dominique White was taken to jail and is facing charges of resisting law enforcement with a vehicle, neglect of a dependent and reckless driving.

Three other occupants in the vehicle were released.
