A 31-year-old Bellefonte woman, identified as Hayle Ann Bacon, was arrested following a high-speed pursuit on March 6 in Union Township, Centre County. State police say Bacon clocked speeds over 120 mph in a Dodge Avenger before finally pulling over. During the stop, troopers noted Bacon appeared aggressive and impaired. A search of her vehicle reportedly turned up a highly potent cannabis concentrate called THC wax, and orange pills she identified as Kratom. The situation escalated during her transport to Mount Nittany Medical Center for a blood draw. According to court documents, Bacon allegedly threatened the trooper, claiming she would leak his physical description and personal information to “gang bangers” she was affiliated with as retaliation for the arrest. She is facing numerous charges including resisting arrest, possession of drug paraphernalia and terroristic threats. She has been placed in the Centre County Prison in lieu of bail.
