A Webb City woman who led authorities on a chase from Joplin to Carthage has been charged with felony resisting arrest and careless and imprudent driving and is being held on a $25,000 cash-only bond.
The chase ended with Carthage officers following Breshia Rachelle Grosso, 26, as she drove the wrong way on the square, (something others have done from time to time though usually not while they are running from the police), and as she drove on the sidewalk (something others usually do not do).
