High-speed chase

JACKSON TOWNSHIP, PA

A 25-year-old Union City, Pa., woman, who state police say led them on a 24-mile high-speed chase through Mercer County, faces several criminal charges including fleeing or attempting to elude police, possession of a controlled substance and driving under the influence.

A state trooper tried to pull over Ashley M. Dumas on Interstate 79 southbound in Mercer County on Sunday as she drove nearly 85 mph in a 65-mph zone, but she refused to stop. She eventually was caught 24 miles later after crashing her car, police say.

State police said she was in possession of suspected heroin and prescription medication.
