Arrested Woman, 26, Faces Multiple Felony Charges

DALLAS, TX — A 26-year-old woman who police say fled from a traffic stop on June 2 was later arrested at a gambling hall. She now faces eight separate charges.

The woman, Crystal Mendoza, was first pulled over in the 1000 block of Commerce Street when officers learned the car she was driving was stolen, police say.

Mendoza got out of the car at the request of Officers Yi and Gregory. During the stop, she got back in the car and drove away, police say.

She was later found at a gambling hall in the 2900 block of Lombardy Lane, where she was arrested without incident.
