Alleged impaired driver charged with fleeing Lycoming Regional police

For several miles, Kelly Mae Kinley, driving a 2015 Ford Fusion, refused to pull over for a Lycoming Regional police officer who, with his cruiser’s emergency lights and siren activated, was attempting to stop her after she committed vehicle code violations in Jersey Shore about 10:15 p.m. on May 15, according to an affidavit. The license plate on the car was also expired, police said. During the pursuit, the 46-year-old woman’s car was “weaving back and forth between the lanes of travel,” the court document stated. Police said she was traveling in excess of the speed limit as well.

Finally, Kinley stopped when she arrived at her Crawford Township home at 4410 Pine Mountain Road in Clinton County, police said. “She exited the car, threw her hands in the air and asked ‘Why are you pulling me over,'” the court document stated. Kinley “performed poorly” during a series of field sobriety tests, police said. It was alleged that she was driving “while under the influence of a drug or a combination of drugs, impairing her ability to safely drive,” police said.

Kinley was arraigned hours later before District Judge Aaron Biichle on charges of felony fleeing police, DUI and four summary offenses. She was released on $15,000 bail.
