CANDIA - A 28-year-old Bow woman is behind bars today while awaiting her Monday arraignment after she led police on a slow-speed chase late Friday night.

The incident unfolded around 11:20 p.m. when State Police dispatch was advised that officers from the Windham Police Department were attempting to stop a blue BMW, but the vehicle was refusing to stop even after it had been successfully spiked.

According to a police press release sent on Saturday, the vehicle traveled north on Interstate 93, at which point Troopers took over as the primary pursuing units.

The suspect vehicle eventually exited the highway in Londonderry and began traveling north on Route 28, through Route 28A in the city of Manchester, and Route 3 in the town of Hooksett. It eventually began traveling east on Route 27 through Hooksett and the town of Candia.

After coming to a stop at a private residence, which had no relation to the suspect, the driver fled from Troopers at a high rate of speed, through the private residences' yard. Troopers were able to locate the suspect vehicle a short time later, after the vehicle had crashed attempting a U-turn on Route 27. The driver attempted to flee from the crash scene on foot but was apprehended by troopers shortly thereafter.

Jillian Morrone, 28, of Bow, was transported to the Rockingham County Jail, where she was held pending her arraignment on State Police charges of reckless conduct, disobeying an officer, and resisting arrest. She will also have charges from other local agencies related to the pursuit, according to safety officials.

Anyone with information regarding this case is asked to contact Trooper Bryan Taylor at Bryan.L.Taylor@dos.nh.gov or (603)223-4381.
