EDINBURGH, Ind. — Edinburgh officers arrested a man and woman on counterfeiting, theft, resisting arrest and other charges after a chase on I-65.

Police were called to the Edinburgh outlet mall on Thursday for a report of someone trying to use counterfeit money at the Carter's store.

Officers arrived and started surveillance on the suspects' car. While watching it, a woman ran out from the store, jumped into the car police were watching and took off.

Police said the driver, William Cokley and alleged accomplice, Erica May refused to stop for officers. 

Officers said the suspects' car drove the wrong way on US-31, nearly hitting several cars before getting onto I-65.

Both Cokley and May are being held at the Bartholomew County Jail.
