Daviess County woman is facing multiple charges after deputies say a traffic stop turned into a pursuit Sunday night. The Sheriff’s Office says a deputy stopped a black 2009 Mercury Milan around 9:42 p.m. after it ran a stop sign near Worthington and West 5th Street Road. Investigators say the driver, 50-year-old Tonya Baize of Owensboro, showed signs of impairment, then sped away before stopping on Green Briar Street and running on foot. A deputy tackled her in a yard, where she allegedly resisted arrest. Baize was treated for minor injuries, then booked on charges including fleeing police, DUI third offense, reckless driving, resisting arrest, and a felony probation violation warrant.
