\nA Bowling Green woman was arrested in Edmonson County on Friday after nearly hitting a deputy head on while driving.<\/p>\n
Ponda Bennett, 48, was charged with first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance, buying or possessing drug paraphernalia, first-degree and second-degree fleeing or evading police, resisting arrest, possession of marijuana, second-degree wanton endangerment, tampering with physical evidence and reckless driving.<\/p>\n
Police reported that Bennett was driving north on Wingfield Church Road in the middle of the road and almost hit a deputy\u2019s car head on.<\/p>\n
Police said Bennett then accelerated at a high rate of speed when the deputy turned on his lights and sirens.<\/p>\n
Bennett was eventually found after she lost control of the vehicle and hit a mailbox and stopped in a driveway.<\/p>\n
Police said Bennett was out of the vehicle and refusing basic commands and attempted to flee away from the vehicle.<\/p>\n
Bennett was taken into custody and a large amount of methamphetamine, scales and drug paraphernalia was discovered on her and in her vehicle.<\/p>\n
Police also said that she had removed another significant amount of methamphetamine from herself and attempted to destroy it inside the cage area of the deputy\u2019s cruiser.<\/p>\n
She was taken to the Hart County Jail.
