An attempted traffic stop resulted in several additional charges for a Louisa woman after police allege she fled.
According to court documents, officers with the Louisa Police Department said that on March 17, they observed a passenger car whose driver, Pamela Stiltner, 43, was not wearing her seat belt, and who was known to them as having an active warrant for her arrest.
Upon activating their lights to initiate a stop of the vehicle, they said Stiltner instead accelerated and fled, heading onto the Blaine Creek Road. Officers allege she turned “at a high rate of speed” into a driveway near where a child was playing outside, and knocked on the back door of a residence but got no answer.
Officers said she tried another residence, telling the man there that “the cops were looking for her and that she needed a place to hide.” That individual, police said, told her that she needed to leave.
Court documents say she was arrested without incident and lodged in the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center on charges of first-degree fleeing or evading police in a motor vehicle, first-degree wanton endangerment, second-degree wanton endangerment of a police officer, second-degree criminal mischief, third-degree criminal trespassing and failure to wear a seat belt.
Another court document shows the execution of an indictment warrant signed March 10 charging one count of first-degree possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine).
