The vehicle was located near MM 18/8 traveling in the wrong direction but at a low rate of speed.

Acres was observed sitting in the driver’s seat of a red Ford Focus in the parking lot. When Acres attempted to pull out of the parking spot an officer confronted her and told her to turn the vehicle off and to give him the car keys. Acres turned the vehicle off but refused to turn over the keys. After repeated requests for the keys Acres started the vehicle and accelerated through the parking lot onto Kurse Drive. Acres then drove east on Bainbridge Road and then west on Solon Road. Because Acres was operating her vehicle in a reckless manner the pursuit was terminated. After terminating the pursuit officers lost sight of the vehicle. A short time later officers observed Acres traveling north on Harper Road approaching US 422. When Acres saw the police cruiser she accelerated, lost control of her vehicle and struck the median island before exiting her vehicle. Acres again refused to comply with commands and re-entered her vehicle, locked the driver’s side door and attempted to put the vehicle into drive. Officers broke the driver’s side window, turned the vehicle off and told possession of the keys. Acres was uncooperative while being placed under arrest. She was found to have numerous warrants including a felony warrant through the Ohio Department of Rehab/Adult Parole Authority and a felony warrant through CCSO for escape. During the course of her reckless driving Acres struck three other vehicles causing minor damage.
