Gould served with 2 warrants
PUTNAM — Oct 25, Kayla P. Gould (aka Kayla P. Link), 24, was served with two valid arrest warrants while at GA 11 Danielson Superior Court during a scheduled court appearance for other criminal cases.
The two warrants stem from separate attempts by the Putnam Police to conduct a motor vehicle stop on her while she was driving. In both cases she fled from police to avoid apprehension on other outstanding arrest warrants.
On Aug. 27 officers Nick Ustin and Roy Hicks of the Putnam Police Department observed Gould driving on Providence Street at the intersection of Powhattan Street. Officer Ustin attempted to initiate at traffic stop at which point Gould allegedly drove into the police cruiser, striking it, and then fled. Officers pursued the vehicle onto I-395 northbound and the pursuit was later terminated for the safety of the motoring public. No Putnam officers were injured, and the cruiser sustained non-disabling damage.
On Sept. 18 Putnam Police observed Gould operating a motor vehicle on Church Street. Sergeant Louis Cinque initiated a traffic stop in an effort to arrest her on the outstanding warrants. Again, she accelerated away from police in an erratic manner to avoid apprehension. The pursuit was immediately terminated for the safety of the public.
Arrest Warrant 1: Criminal Attempted Assault on Public Safety Personnel; interfering with police personnel; Criminal Mischief 1st Degree; Engaging Officer in Pursuit; Reckless Driving; Misuse of Plates; Failure to Drive Right; Speeding.
Arrest Warrant 2: Engaging Officer in Pursuit; Reckless Driving; Failure to Obey Stop Sign; Failure to Obey Traffic Light.
