BOULDER — A woman was arrested early Saturday morning after Boulder police say she led officers on a nearly 30 minute car chase through the city, according to a police report.
At about 1 a.m, an officer attempted to pull over a van near 18th and Walnut streets after it failed to stop at a stop sign. The driver of the van, later identified as Wendy Ann Lindberg, 34, of Wyoming, pulled over but drove off when the officer approached her vehicle.
According to the report, Lindberg was having trouble staying in her lane and was driving at around 25 mph. Several times officers said she pulled over, only to then take off when officers tried to approach her. At one point, she drove at an officer, forcing him to run to avoid being hit and also struck a patrol car.
Officers used stop sticks to flatten the van’s tires near Folsom Street and Canyon Boulevard, but Lindberg refused to stop.
At 1:22 a.m. officers were finally able to coral the van near 30th Street and Canyon Boulevard. Lindberg drove onto an apartment lawn before she stopped.
According to the report, when police approached her she said, “What?” and refused to cooperate with officers.
