The Brighton Police Department is actively investigating a case of criminal eluding that endangered the public and resulted in damage to a police vehicle and a civilian’s car.  

On June 5th, at around 11:10 a.m., officers responded to Super Target located at 2171 Prairie Center Parkway, in Brighton. Officers were dispatched to conduct a wellness check after callers reported a woman who was passed out in her parked vehicle. 

Upon arrival, officers and medical personnel contacted the woman, who awoke and admitted to taking an unknown controlled substance. As medical staff attempted to provide care, the woman suddenly shut her car door and fled the scene. In doing so, she struck and damaged both a Brighton Police vehicle and another parked vehicle belonging to a bystander. Thankfully, no officers or community members were injured. After striking the vehicles, officers attempted to pursue the vehicle, but due to the reckless speed of the suspect, officers lost visual thus terminating the pursuit for community safety concerns.  

We were able to successfully identify the suspect as 35-year-old Sarah Kelley, who has over ten warrants for her arrest. At the time of the incident, she was driving a 2012 Black Honda Accord with New Jersey license plates: P77UHA. The vehicle is missing the front bumper after striking the police car and a bystander’s vehicle.  

Sarah Kelley is still at large, refer to this photo attached. We’re looking for the community's help in locating Sarah, so if you do see her or have any information about her whereabouts, please get in touch with police.
