A West Bloomfield woman was arrested Saturday after a chase on Interstate 75 took officers and the suspect across state lines, the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office said.
Monroe County Central dispatch received a report of a motorist driving erratically on I-75 near Nadeau Road at 9:07 p.m. Saturday. A white Honda Accord reported stolen was spotted heading south by Deputy Sheriff Doug Moore near Laplaisance Road.
