Charges for Hickman County woman after two-county pursuit

A traffic stop and vehicle pursuit resulted in the arrest of a Hickman County woman in Bardwell early Monday morning.

Ballard County deputies stopped 39-year-old Michelle McCutchen in Wickliffe, but she reportedly refused to give an ID or exit the vehicle. Deputies reported smelling a strong odor of alcohol in the vehicle. 

McCutchen drove off from the traffic stop with deputies in pursuit. The chase came to an end in Bardwell after McCutchen crashed into a utility pole.

McCutchen's charges included possession of a controlled substance, operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol, fleeing or evading police and wanton endangerment.
