THUNDER BAY – A 27-year-old woman wanted on outstanding warrants was arrested and charged after allegedly attempting to flee from police on Thursday afternoon and slamming into a Vickers Street business.
Cheyenne Marie Bannon was charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, flight from police, obstructing the peace and breach of probation.
Police, in a release issued on Friday, say just after 3 p.m. on Thursday an officer observed a person in a pick-up truck possibly wanted on warrants.
The officer turned on his lights and sirens and the suspect accelerated and sped through a stop sign at the intersection of Vickers Street North and Northern Avenue, sideswiping a delivery vehicle before crashing into Adduono’s Sheet Metal at a high rate of speed.
The building sustained heavy damage and the vehicle was left inoperable.
The suspect was arrested at the scene and appeared in court on Friday morning. Bannon was remanded into custody with a future court date.
