IRMO, S.C. — Irmo Police have arrested a 34-year-old woman after she failed to stop for blue lights Monday morning in Irmo.

Police say the woman fled an Irmo officer after he attempted to pull her over for a license plate check that came back to a different vehicle. According to officers, she failed to stop for the officer's blue lights and led him on a short pursuit before the officer lost sight of her car.

A bit later, her vehicle was spotted by other law enforcement officers and was stopped. During the ensuing traffic stop, it was discovered that she had a infant in the back seat. 

She was booked into Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center on charges of failure to stop, 2nd offense as well as driving under suspension; child endangerment, reckless driving, and registration violation.
