BANGOR — A 35-year-old Maine woman has been charged with reckless conduct and other crimes after police say she eluded them on a car chase from Newport to Bangor, about 30 miles.

Courtney Quinn of Waterville has been jailed on $25,000 bail.

A Maine state trooper says Quinn’s car nearly hit another one on Interstate 95 near Newport about 5:30 p.m. Friday. The trooper attempted to stop the car, when it continued at speeds fluctuating between 80 mph and nearly 100 mph. It passed a roadblock and went on to Bangor, heading across lawns, ditches and curbs.

The car eventually was blocked by cruisers.
