A 37-year-old Olds woman facing nine charges in connection with an allegedly stolen motorcycle is expected to enter a plea on those charges when she appears back in Didsbury provincial court Aug. 20.
Her case last came up in court July 30.
Sherri-Lynn Koch was arrested after an accident involving a motorcycle that occurred in Bowden July 11 at about 2 a.m. Police say the motorcycle was later determined to have been stolen in Calgary.
While on patrol in Bowden, an Olds RCMP officer saw a woman on a motorcycle commit what police describe as “several traffic-related offences.”
The officer tried to get her to stop, but police say she took off through Bowden and failed to stop at several intersections, before crashing while heading south on Highway 2A, still in Bowden.
RCMP arrived at the accident scene almost immediately, however Koch ran off. She was tracked down nearby and arrested with the help of Red Deer Police Dog Services.
Koch was also found to be wanted on an outstanding warrant out of Camrose.
Koch was taken into police custody and received medical attention for a minor injury suffered during the collision.
She faces nine charges in connection with that incident: possession of stolen property, failure to stop for police, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, failure to comply with a probation order, failure to remain at the scene of an accident, operating an uninsured motor vehicle on a highway, operating a motor vehicle without a subsisting driver’s licence, operating an unregistered motor vehicle on a highway and displaying an unauthorized licence plate.
