Police arrested 33-year-old Dhyanna Webster of Worthington.

The pursuit began after a Linton officer on routine patrol noticed a driver in a white passenger car driving erratically through an alleyway.

From Linton, the vehicle traveled to Jasonville and the Jasonville Police Department responded to assist.

The car then drove on into Clay County and the Clay City area. At that point, the Clay City Police Department responded to assist.

The pursuit continued into the Howesville area then traveled back into Greene County and into Worthington where the vehicle drove through the Worthington Park, then headed south through the town and stopped in a backyard on South Jefferson Street where she was arrested and taken to the Greene County Jail.

In addition to her legal trouble in Greene County, Webster may also be facing charges in Clay County related to this incident.

In Greene County, Webster's bond was set at $9,500 surety with ten percent allowed on preliminary charges of felony criminal recklessness, misdemeanor reckless driving with property damage, one felony count of resisting law enforcement and one misdemeanor count of resisting law enforcement.
