BOYNTON BEACH, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — Florida Highway Patrol says Brooke Ellis of the 100 block of SE 2nd Street in Delray Beach is in a lot of trouble. The 50 year old woman was, according to police, involved in a traffic crash on the off ramp from I-95 to Boynton Beach Blvd. As FHP Troopers conducted an investigation, Ellis was ordered into a parking lot but apparently decided to flee, instead.

That led to a police chase, but ended when Ellis “collided with a dumpster and a fire hydrant.”

Ellis was eventually arrested and charged with DUI; driving on a suspended license; hit and run — leave scene of a crash involving damage to property; resist officer (by) refusing to accept, sign citation or post bond; resist officer — flee, elude law enforcement officer with lights (and) siren active).

Ellis was booked into jail at 1:06 a.m. Wednesday. She was released on $1,000 bond 1:45 p.m. on Wednesday. A court date is pending.
