Emily Mackinnon-Dunbar, of Waterbury, was arrested on Thursday, March 25, after state police attempted to stop her vehicle on I-95 in the village of Mamaroneck for a traffic violation, said Trooper Tara McCormick.
According to McCormick, instead of stopping, Mackinnon-Dunbar's vehicle sped up and continued northbound, where a brief pursuit ensued. Troopers terminated the pursuit for safety reasons, due to approaching a work zone with a lane closure.
Once through the work zone, troopers discovered the fleeing vehicle had crashed at exit 18B. Mackinnon-Dunbar and two passengers were all exiting the vehicle and reported no injuries.
Mackinnon-Dunbar initially resisted arrest but was taken into custody and transported to New Rochelle for processing, McCormick said.
Mackinnon-Dunbar was charged with:
- Unlawful fleeing a police officer
- Obstructing governmental administration
- Reckless endangerment
- Resisting arrest
- Reckless driving
- Reckless endangerment/property
She was issued appearance tickets to court in April and released.
