Indiana State Police arrested a woman after she allegedly crashed into a state police vehicle.

At around 8:45 a.m. local time, Wednesday, a trooper arrested a 31-yr-old Ft. Branch woman for resisting law enforcement.  The trooper tried to stop her on US41 for allegedly speeding. She eventually stopped after colliding into the trooper’s SUV in Ft. Branch.  There were no injuries and only minor damage was reported.  Her name was not released.

Meanwhile, Gibson County deputies responded to two separate incidents on Tuesday, leading to three arrests.

Around 12:30 p.m., officers were called to County Road 100 West, where a woman was reportedly flagging down drivers and making threats. Deputies located 35-year-old Ruby Parker of Princeton and found mail in her possession that didn’t belong to her. She was arrested on charges including intimidation, theft, and public intoxication.
