A Russell Springs woman was arrested after reportedly ramming into two patrol vehicles during a short pursuit in Adair County Friday night.

The Adair County Sheriff’s Office said a deputy attempted to perform a traffic stop on a vehicle sitting in the roadway about 8 miles east of Columbia on Highway 80.

The driver of the vehicle, identified as 30-year-old Annie McNelly of Russell Springs, attempted to evade law enforcement during the traffic stop. The sheriff’s office said during the brief pursuit, she struck two sheriff’s department vehicles.

McNelly’s vehicle eventually became stuck in a ditch and she was arrested. She’s charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence of a controlled substance, fleeing or evading police first degree, criminal mischief first degree, and two counts of wanton endangerment first degree.

She was lodged in the Adair County Regional Jail a little before 10 o’clock Friday night.
