POCATELLO — A woman was arrested for felony driving under the influence and two misdemeanor eluding charges after leading authorities on a chase twice in one day.

Caitlin Eagle, 27, was operating a vehicle that had been reported as a DUI driver late Tuesday night. Pocatello Police officers attempted to stop Eagle in the area of Quinn Road and Hurley Drive.

Eagle failed to yield to emergency lights and sirens from police vehicles and continued driving onto Interstate 86, according to a news release. Pocatello police tell EastIdahoNews.com the pursuit was terminated on the highway due to safety concerns.

A short time later, Bannock County Sheriff’s deputies located the same vehicle in the area of Satterfield Drive.

Police reports show Eagle came to a dead end and a deputy attempted to box her vehicle in with his. She attempted to circumvent the deputy’s vehicle and struck a curb damaging her tire and rendering the vehicle inoperable.

She was arrested and booked into the Bannock County Jail.
