Wanted Rockford woman arrested after leading officers on a chase
LOVES PARK, Ill. (WTVO) — Loves Park Police arrested Jessica Goelz, 34, for allegedly leading officers on a car chase.
On May 27, around 8 p.m., officers were patrolling the area of Harlem and Alpine Roads when they saw a black Kia Forte that abruptly turned into a BP gas station upon being followed.
Authorities were able to determine that the driver, Goelz, had an expired license and was wanted for not appearing in court.
Officials attempted to stop the suspect's car, but she pulled away onto North Alpine. She made a series of turns, all while speeding 40 miles per hour over the limit, according to court records.
Officers stopped pursuing the vehicle at that time.
About three hours later, police found Goelz in the 5900 block of Weymouth Drive and took her into custody.
Goelz was charged with aggravated fleeing from police while going 21 miles per hour or more over the limit.
