Police Detain Unruly Speeder

(Porter County, IN) - State Police had to deal with an unruly reckless driver in Porter County over the weekend.

 

While patrolling I-94 near the truck weighing station on Saturday night, a trooper paced a silver Hyundai doing about 105 miles an hour.

 

Upon pulling over the vehicle, its driver reportedly became combative, claiming that she was a relative of a Chicago police officer. The trooper had his doubts when he discovered fake Illinois ID cards in the driver’s possession.

 

22-year-old Shelby Foster of Chicago was promptly placed in custody. While en route to jail, police say Foster wriggled out of handcuffs. She then bit the officer on the arm as he tried to refasten them. They say she later spit on a jail officer at the Porter County Jail.

 

For her trouble, Foster was charged with three felonies and six misdemeanors.
