The Osceola County Sheriff's Office says a traffic stop turned into a short pursuit and multiple arrests.

 

On Saturday morning, deputies attempted a traffic stop of a vehicle near Mackinaw Trail and 13 Mile Road in LeRoy Township for an equipment violation. The driver fled the scene and pulled into a home near 14 Mile Road and 220th Avenue. The suspect ran into the house and refused to come out.

 

Deputies identified the driver as a 33-year-old woman with several warrants out for her arrest, including a felony warrant for possession of narcotics. The residents of the home, a 67-year-old woman and her 42-year-old son, refused to cooperate. Deputies said the 42-year-old, later identified as the boyfriend of the 33-year-old driver, made threats to assault law enforcement at the scene.

 

Police then obtained a search warrant, entered the home and located the 33-year old suspect hidden under a bed sheet in the 67-year-old woman's bedroom.

 

She faces charges of  possession of methamphetamine, two counts carrying a concealed dangerous weapon, three counts of resisting and obstructing a police officer, and one count of fleeing and eluding a police officer. 

 

The prosecutor's office issued additional warrants for the 67 year-old woman and her 42-year-old son for harboring a fugitive. All three were lodged in the Osceola County Jail, awaiting arraignment.
