Woman Flees Police Riding Her Bicycle, They Find Her Hiding Spot: Cops

JOLIET, IL — For the fourth time since November 2023 and the third time this year, 33-year-old Minooka native Bridget Price is back behind bars at the Will County Jail, following her latest Joliet police arrest this week.

Joliet said that Price was booked into the Will County Jail early Tuesday morning on charges of obstructing a peace officer and for having an outstanding Will County arrest warrant and a Livingston County arrest warrant.

Joliet police said Price's latest arrest happened in the middle of the night.

At 12:30 a.m. May 20, a patrol officer spotted Price riding a bicycle near West Jefferson Street and Springfield Avenue and knew she held an active arrest warrant. Price ignored commands to stop and rode her bicycle away from the officer, according to police spokesman Dwayne English.

Eventually, Price was found hiding in an area of brush near 80 Uno Circle and was placed into custody without further incident.

Price had a Will County warrant for failing to appear in court on previous retail theft charges and a Livingston County warrant for failing to appear in court on previous charges of violation of a court order, according to English.
