POLICE will charge 21-year-old Phillip woman after a high-speed chase to avoid being breathalysed in Weston early this morning.
The woman will be charged with drink-driving, driving with licence suspended, furious/reckless driving and failing to stop.
Police on patrol in Streeton Drive around 4.20am attempted a traffic stop on a white sedan for the purposes of conducting a roadside screening test on the driver.
The driver failed to stop and was pursued through Phillip and Mawson at speeds reaching 140kph. The driver finally stopped in Wilkins Street, Mawson, where she refused a roadside screening test and was taken to Woden Police Station. She later returned a blood alcohol content of 0.122.
