(Omaha, NE) -- An Omaha woman is arrested after leading troopers on a pursuit with children in the car.
The Nebraska State Patrol says just after 9:00 Thursday night, a trooper spotted a Chevy Impala run a red light at the intersection of 24th and Cuming. The NSP says the trooper tried to pull the car over, but the driver refused to stop. The state patrol says the trooper initiated a pursuit as the Impala continued driving on surface streets. Investigators say the suspect eventually fled southbound on I-480.
The state patrol says after about three miles, the vehicle came to a stop and the driver was taken into custody. Six children were in the vehicle at the time.
The driver, 33 year old Tiara Cook, provided a false name to troopers when she was pulled over. She was eventually taken to Douglas County Jail on charges of flight to avoid arrest, willful reckless driving, criminal impersonation, child abuse/neglect – no injury, obstructing a peace officer, and multiple outstanding warrants.
