A LOCAL woman alleged to have swerved to the wrong side of a Wangaratta road in a ploy to evade police a fortnight ago has been urged to continue engaging with local support services.

The 29–year–old made a brief appearance at Wangaratta Magistrates Court last week, having previously been bailed after she allegedly fled police on the afternoon of May 25, reaching speeds of between 90kph and 100kph along Newman Street.

Police had initially attempted to intercept her around 1.30pm, after she was allegedly seen driving a black Holden Commodore along Vincent Road, activating their lights and sirens before the accused allegedly reached speeds of up to 40kph more than the posted speed limit..

She was eventually arrested after parking at a Greta Road restaurant and attempting to outrun police on foot.

The accused faces charges including dangerous driving whilst pursued by police, reckless conduct endangering serious injury, driving at speed dangerous, failing to stop on police direction, driving whilst disqualified and bail offences.

Defence counsel Georgia van Niekerk said her client, who is currently on a corrections order, had made contact with both her corrections worker and a member of Gateway Health to pursue alcohol and drug rehabilitation in the wake of being bailed.

She asked for charges to be adjourned to Wodonga next month to align with existing charges, but noted her client could well have entered a residential rehabilitation program before her matters return before the court.

Magistrate Ian Watkins obliged, and urged the accused to continue to engage with support.

"Keep up the good work with your corrections order and your bail," he said.

A judicial monitoring order was also adjourned to the July 18 date.
