GOODVIEW, Minn. – A Goodview woman was arrested after driving a couple miles pursued by police and then turning into the Lake Village trailer court before finally stopping. She wasn’t pleased. “What do you want?” she shouted as she stepped out of her car, according to the arrestung officer, and became belligerent. The officer was convinced that Laurie Elizabeth Boehmke, age 46, was drunk — her odor, her bloodshot eyes, her imbalance. She refused, however, to have her breath or fluids tested for blood-alcohol. The charges:
> Driving drunk.
> Fleeing police.
> Refusing blood-alcohol testing.
> Violating terms of a harassment restraining order.
The chase began at Pelzer and Fifth streets on the Winona West End about 1:35 a.m. The officer said that Boehmke almost hit him head-on. The officer turned around and activated his siren. Boehmke, he said, looked at him in her rearview mirror but kept going. At Lake Village she turned into the trailer court and ran into a stop sign — and still kept going. Finally she stopped at a trailer in the 50 block of Michigan Lane.
