TOLEDO, Ohio — Toledo police arrested a woman who allegedly led officers on a pursuit Wednesday afternoon.

Jessica Banks, 43, of Walbridge, was arrested on charges of receiving stolen property and failure to comply with the order of a police officer.

According to a police report, Banks did not comply with officers' attempts to stop a stolen vehicle she was driving and a low-speed pursuit in west Toledo began, with Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers eventually joining. The pursuit eventually entered Sylvania Township, back into Toledo and then into Sylvania.

Banks was eventually taken into custody at the Toledo Memorial Cemetery, according to the report.

Court documents say Banks also ran red lights and drove off the road during the pursuit.
