Wanted woman flags down police: Am I wanted?
(10-08) 18:27 PDT LOCKLAND, Ohio (AP) --
Police in suburban Cincinnati arrested a woman after she flagged an
officer down and asked if there were any warrants out for her arrest. The
Cincinnati Enquirer reported Friday that after Lockland police officer Dan
Lyons informed 44-year-old Selma Elmore she did have an outstanding
warrant, the woman ran off. The chase ended when Elmore pushed Lyons into
a building, injuring his elbow.
Other officers responding to a call for backup later apprehended the
woman.
Elmore, wanted for allegedly failing to pay a fine as a result of a drug
conviction, now faces a charge of resisting arrest.
Hamilton County Jail records did not list an attorney for Elmore.
