She Faces 3 Years In Jail For Making Sure She Wasn’t Being Robbed
Image source: tedforsenate.com
An Indiana woman is facing felony charges that could land her in jail for three years and cost her her job because she refused to pull off the road for a sheriff’s deputy on a dark country road.
DelRea Good, 52, was charged with resisting arrest after she drove to a lit parking lot rather than pull over immediately. She had waved out of the window to acknowledge she saw the policeman, and she had turned on her hazard lights. It is not uncommon for motorists to drive to a safer place on the road when a policeman turns on the flashing lights.
“I felt I didn’t do anything wrong,” Good said. “I got to a safe place and I told him that.”
Good’s ordeal began with a routine traffic violation for speeding on a country road outside of Portage, Indiana, The Northwest Indiana Times reported. She was going 54 miles per hour in a 35 mph zone when Porter County Sheriff’s Patrolman William Marshall activated the lights on his patrol car.
Since it was 11:21 at night, Good did not want to pull over on the dark road, out of fear for her safety. Instead, she drove about half a mile to a lighted parking lot at a Kohl’s department store so she could see if she was dealing with a real officer or a police impersonator.
