An Ontario woman is facing charges after she allegedly drove through a Manitoba-North Dakota border crossing without stopping and led police on a chase that ended about 200 kilometres away.
North Dakota Highway Patrol said a driver went through the Pembina, N.D., border station, opposite Emerson, and headed south on Interstate 29 on Dec. 6.
U.S. Border Patrol alerted police, who pursued the southbound vehicle to the Grand Forks area, where troopers put a spike strip across the highway to deflate its tires.
The highway patrol said the vehicle crossed the median and was briefly driven in the northbound lanes at one point.
The driver continued to head south until officers used their cruisers to bring the vehicle to a stop on I-29, on the north side of Cass County.
Officers arrested the woman, who is facing state charges of fleeing and reckless endangerment, the highway patrol said.
