CRANBERRY TWP — A Beaver Falls woman is facing a number of charges after leading police on a high-speed chase during which she allegedly struck a construction vehicle and almost hit two people.

Amy Barr, 30, waived all charges to county court Friday, where she will be arraigned June 13.

According to police reports, Cranberry Township Police Officer Ed Horan was driving north on Powell Road shortly after 9 a.m. April 8 when he noticed a dark-colored Kia sedan, later determined to have been driven by Barr, passing him in the oncoming lane with an expired inspection sticker from 2014.

As he turned around to stop the vehicle, Horan realized the Kia had sped off southbound on Powell toward Freedom Road, according to the affidavit. Horan pursued the Kia as it approached a construction site at Powell Road and Valley View Drive where the road was restricted to one lane with alternating directions of travel in the single lane.

Horan said Barr failed to stop at a stop sign being held by a construction worker on the road and was close to hitting the worker.

She sped through the work zone and sideswiped a work vehicle parked along the edge of the road, police said.

Barr continued south on Powell and turned left onto Mystic Pine Trail. Workers directed Horan down the dead end street which leads to a church parking lot.

Witnesses who were working on the church property said Barr's vehicle came through the parking lot at a high rate of speed and almost struck a 3-year-old walking through the lot. Barr parked the vehicle and she and another occupant fled on foot down a gravel trail that leads back toward Freedom Road.

Barr and her passenger were arrested. Police said they found Barr with drug paraphernalia in the front pocket of her sweat shirt.

Barr was found to have a suspended driver's license. Police also discovered that the license plate on the Kia she was driving did not belong to that car, and there was no valid insurance on the car.

She was charged with felony fleeing a police officer, reckless endangerment, possession of drug paraphernalia, reckless driving and six other charges relating to the April 8 incident.

Bail was set at $25,000, then reduced to $10,000 unsecured bail. Barr is free after posting bail.
