(MSC News)--A Mayetta woman was arrested early Thursday morning after a low-speed police chase in Topeka’s downtown area.

Responding officers quickly located the SUV and a chase ensued.

29-year-old Eva Eteeyan was taken into custody on two counts of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, fleeing and eluding, driving under the influence, open container and several other traffic offenses.
No injuries were reported.
