Police Chase in Falmouth

FALMOUTH, MA — A Falmouth woman was arrested Friday after police said she led officers on a chase. Kristin Sullivan, 30, of Falmouth, faces a host of charges.

Police said the chase started in Bourne at about 8:45 p.m. Sullivan, driving a 1999 Ford Taurus wagon, had an expired inspection sticker and drove off when an officer tried to pull her over, police said.

It punctured one of her tires, police said.

Sullivan continued on Route 28A and made it to Falmouth but ditched the vehicle on Blacksmith Shop Road, police said, adding she was captured after a short chase.
