HARRISBURG, Pa. — State Police are searching for a woman accused of leading police on a high-speed chase through the city of Harrisburg earlier this year.
Courtney Buckner, 37, has an active felony arrest warrant and is also wanted for violating parole, authorities said. She is also awaiting trial in Lebanon County on charges of possession with intent to deliver and firearms act violations, according to police.
At about 8:05 a.m. on March 8, Buckner was driving a Honda Civic with Pennsylvania registration LTN5010 when police attempted to initiate a traffic stop in Harrisburg. The vehicle had previously been involved with a police chase, State Police claim.
Buckner allegedly fled from the scene of the traffic stop, leading police on a high-speed chase through the city. The pursuit was terminated after several minutes due to the risk to public safety, police said.
