Once the officer stopped the vehicle, a Hyundai Elantra, near the intersection of Pleasant Street and Forest Street, the driver stopped the car and attempted to flee on foot. She was arrested safely.

Police say that during a search incidental to the arrest, officers found multiple bags of packaged cocaine.
