(WFRV) – A 32-year-old Wisconsin woman was arrested on Monday morning after engaging officers in a police pursuit that stretched two counties.
According to the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office, Olyvia Couillard of Milwaukee was seen by a deputy in Columbus driving a vehicle with an equipment violation around 3:39 a.m. on Monday. Couillard ignored an attempted traffic stop, thus a pursuit began.

She ignored another red light and crashed into a vehicle around Highway 19. Couillard ran from the scene on foot, and a deputy quickly caught her and arrested her. The people in the struck vehicle were checked for minor injuries.
