Two Wood County residents have been indicted for fleeing from police.
A Wood County grand jury on Dec. 20 indicted Jaide A. Conley, 27, Bowling Green, for failure to comply with an order or signal of a police officer, a third-degree felony; and driving under suspension or in violation of license restriction, a first-degree misdemeanor.
On Nov. 6, she was clocked traveling 86 mph in a 60-mph zone on U.S. 25 near Sugar Ridge Road. According to court documents, she fled east on Sugar Ridge Road at a high rate of speed. The officer pursued her for two miles at a speed of 96 mph, but her vehicle continued to pull away.
She traveled through Sugar Ridge, which had a 45 mph speed limit, at an estimated speed of 105 mph, according to court documents, then passed another motorist, made an illegal U-turn, turned off her lights and evaded law enforcement.
She was identified by the deputy, arrested on a warrant, and released from jail on an own recognizant bond.
