A 35-year old Buxton (ND) woman is under arrest after striking a Grand Forks Police squad car and fleeing the scene at a high rate of speed.
Officers were at the Ambassador Motel on an unrelated matter shortly before 9:00 p.m. last night (Thursday). While on the scene the suspect driver hit the squad and took off. Authorities say after a brief pursuit officers terminated the chase for safety reasons.
A short time later the vehicle rolled on a county road (300 11th Street NE). The GFPD identified the driver as Codi Packineau. She was transported to Altru Hospital with unknown injuries. Packineau is charged with leaving the scene of an accident…fleeing in a motor vehicle…reckless driving…and DUI.
