One person was arrested after an incident that led to a high-speed pursuit in Findlay early Sunday morning.

According to a release from the Findlay Police Department, officers were dispatched to 1434 Tappan Street in the city to investigate a report about a criminal trespassing in progress.

The caller advised the suspect, identified as 22-year-old Brooklin Gelbaugh was already issued a trespass warning for the property and had driven there in a red Subaru Legacy.

Officers arrived on scene, but she had already left.

Her vehicle was located a short time later, and officers attempted to make a traffic stop, but Gelbaugh refused to stop.

The pursuit traveled north on South West Street, west on West Main Cross Street, and then north on I-75, where speeds of 130 plus miles per hour were reached.

Officers lost visual contact with the vehicle near exit 171 and the pursuit was terminated.

A short while later the Ohio State Patrol located the Subaru traveling southbound on I-75 and conducted a traffic stop.

Officers arrived on scene and took Gelbaugh into custody for failure to comply with the order or signal of a police officer.

Charges are also being submitted for a criminal trespass and criminal damaging offenses that occurred at 1434 Tappan Street.
