Alaska State Troopers say a disturbance at a business in Cantwell last week ended with the suspect, a young Fairbanks woman, attempting to flee from troopers on the Parks Highway -- on foot.
According to a Wednesday trooper dispatch, troopers were called to the business just after 5 p.m. Friday. They were able to find the suspect -- 22-year-old Cory Connally -- walking down the Parks Highway at Mile 211.
"When troopers tried talking to (Connally), she started running on the Parks Highway," troopers reported. "Due to Connally running in the road, it placed her, troopers and vehicles at risk of being injured or struck.
"As troopers tried to get Connally off the road, she called 911 and tried filing a false report about the incident."
Neither drugs nor alcohol were factors in the incident, troopers said.
Online court records show Connally was fined $100 in July for a misdemeanor charge of failing to yield to vehicles as a pedestrian when crossing a street outside a crosswalk.
Troopers initially arrested Connally on misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and filing a false report, but court records showed only the disorderly conduct charge. She was held at the Fairbanks Correctional Center on $750 bail, which an inmate database said she subsequently paid.
