Tapley Gave Police Her Identification But Then Fled Into the Woods
State Police were called to the scene of a vehicle crash on Interstate 295 in Freeport at around 11:00 Thursday morning, in the middle of a snowstorm. Corporal Klayton Peckham asked the woman for her identification and she gave it to him, but then ran across the southbound lanes of traffic into the woods. A check of her license revealed that Holli Tapley had an extraditable warrant out of Connecticut for a parole violation associated with a kidnapping offense.

Freeport Police were notified and State Troopers set up on the interstate, where she went into the woods, and in a residential area just beyond those woods. A Freeport resident told police that they had noticed a woman walking away from the direction of the highway. Police responded and found Tapley talking with a resident cleaning the snow off his vehicle in his driveway.

When police stopped to talk to Tapley, she ran again, this time into the home's backyard. There was a short foot chase before the police took the woman into custody.
She was transported to the Cumberland County Jail where she's being held on a fugitive from justice charge.
