According to the Mayfield Police Department, officers responded Tuesday, June 23, to a home on South Fifth Street for a report of a woman causing a disturbance and damaging property. While officers were en route, the caller reported the woman had left the area and was walking toward Paris Road.

An officer located the woman, identified as 38-year-old Gina Stubblefield, walking south on Paris Road. Police said Stubblefield ran when she saw the officer but was caught after a brief foot pursuit. She was taken into custody following a short struggle.
