Pursuit ends in charges for Metropolis woman

A pursuit led to a Metropolis woman's arrest over the weekend.

Metropolis police attempted to stop a vehicle for an alleged traffic violation, when the driver, 37-year-old Tianah N. Lewkowicz, reportedly fled at excessive speeds.

Officers said Lewkowicz ignored numerous stop signs and nearly caused several accidents before the pursuit was terminated due to dangerous conditions.

The next day,  officers were called to a motel where they found Lewkowicz. After a short foot chase, she was taken into custody.

Lewkowicz was charged with aggravated fleeing to elude and numerous traffic offenses.

She was taken to the Massac County jail.
