HAUSER — A woman accused of dragging a Kootenai County Sheriff’s deputy with her car this week remains in jail on $200,000 bail.

Melinda M. Smith, 48, of Waitts Lake, Wash., is charged with eluding, battery upon an officer and two counts of aggravated assault, all felonies.

She is also charged with resisting an officer and with four counts of reckless driving, all misdemeanors.

Deputies responded around 12:15 p.m. Wednesday to a report that a woman, later identified as Smith, was slumped over in the driver’s seat of a car parked in the middle of an intersection.

Smith reportedly told deputies she had stopped in the middle of the road due to shoulder pain.

She was released from the scene after medical personnel determined she was not in need of treatment.

Police said her driving was erratic and she soon pulled over.

When a deputy contacted her again, Smith allegedly took off.

Smith’s car dragged the deputy more than 50 feet before he let go of the driver’s side window and ran back to his own vehicle, reports said.

Kootenai County Sheriff’s deputies say they pursued Smith at speeds exceeding 70 mph.

Smith pulled into the boat check station on Highway 53 at a high rate of speed, where she was boxed in with the assistance of a Spokane County deputy sheriff, according to reports.

Smith allegedly rammed multiple patrol vehicles in an attempt to flee.

Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris told The Press that the unidentified deputy was treated for minor injuries at Kootenai Health and released the same day.

Judge Mayli Walsh ordered Thursday that Smith be held on $200,000 bail.

If Smith posts bail, she is further ordered not to drive.
