Wrong-way driver leads officers on chase

CROOKSTON - A Grand Forks, N.D., woman was arrested Saturday night after officers say was driving in the wrong traffic lanes and led officers on a chase across state lines.
Rhonda Kay Wilkens, 46, was charged after the incident, which occurred about 10 p.m. Saturday, a news release from the Polk County Sheriff’s Department said.
Police say the incident unfolded after a Polk County sheriff’s deputy saw a vehicle traveling west in the eastbound lane of U.S. Highway 2 in East Grand Forks.
After the deputy stopped the vehicle at Highway 2 and Central Avenue and approached it, the vehicle took off, still traveling west in the eastbound lane, according to the report.
The deputy pursued the vehicle into Grand Forks on Highway 2 while it still was in the wrong lane of traffic before it pulled over.
Wilkens was arrested on charges of fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle and third-degree driving while intoxicated.
Wilkens was taken to Northwest Regional Corrections Center in Crookston. She was scheduled to make a court appearance Monday.
