A Hiram woman faces an array of charges after leading Bainbridge
At 3:54 a.m. Oct. 11, 28-year-old Erin B. Holdsworth was clocked driving 110 mph while headed eastbound on Route 422, about one-half mile east of the Bainbridge-Solon line, Chief Jon Bokovitz said.
While the Bainbridge officer was in pursuit, Holdsworth was clocked going as fast as 128 mph. A Geauga County Sheriff’s deputy stationed at the intersection of Routes 422 and Route 44 heard news of the chase on the scanner and offered to assist.
The deputy laid down stop sticks near the eastbound entrance ramp to Route 422 from Route 44, west of La Due Reservoir.
The stop sticks were successful in deflating the driver’s side tires of the 2002 Mazda 626 Holdsworth was driving.
Holdsworth subsequently stopped east of La Due, Bokovitz said.
When she exited her vehicle, she was wearing only a G-string, fishnet tube top and high heels, according to police records.
She was arrested for OVI and placed into the back of the police cruiser, where
she then kicked the driver’s side window, knocking it off track but not breaking it.Police in Ohio got quite a surprise when they arrested a topless woman after she allegedly led them on a high-speed chase that saw speeds in excess of 120 mph.
Authorities aren’t sure what Erin Holdsworth, 28, had been doing on the night of October 11, but they do know it ended with a chase that reached 128 mph.
When officers finally pulled her over, Holdsworth was wearing nothing but fishnet stockings, g-string panties, and a pair of high heels.
Police say Erin Holdsworth was caught speeding, but then refused to pull over, instead leading cops on an insane, high-speed chase.
Sheriff’s deputies finally put down some stop sticks, a tire deflation device meant to put an end to such chases.
Holdsworth was forced to pull over, with both of her left tires blowing out after hitting the stop sticks.
It wasn’t until police approached the stopped vehicle that they noticed her revealing outfit.
“She was compliant at that point. However, when we had her in custody, she began to get agitated,” said police chief Jon Bokovitz. “She began hitting her head against the wall.”
Bokovitz added that Holdsworth then refused to take a blood alcohol test. She was transported and arraigned at the Geauga County Safety Center. She was then released pending charges.
Erin Holdsworth is being charged with one count each of OVI (operating a vehicle under the influence), refusing a blood alcohol content test, fleeing and eluding, criminal damaging, driving under a suspended license, speeding, and reckless operation.
