A 33-year-old New Bedford woman was arrested Wednesday night for allegedly knocking a Dartmouth police officer to the ground with her car and driving away while under the influence of drugs, according to Dartmouth police.

At about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, an officer noticed a woman slumped over the wheel of a blue 1998 Nissan Sentra stopped in Jones Park in Dartmouth, police said. The officer called in the license plate and opened the door to check on the woman, Alanna Baylies.

Police said Baylies woke up and put the car into reverse, trapping the officer between the door and the vehicle and knocking the officer to the ground.

Other officers found the car and tried to pull Baylies over, but she drove off, police said.

With officers following, Baylies crashed the car on Route 18 near Union Street in New Bedford and then tried to run before officers caught up with her, police said.

Police said they charged Baylies with operating under the influence of drugs based on statements she made and paraphernalia in the car. Baylies is also accused of assault and battery on a police officer, driving with a suspended license, failure to stop for police, leaving the scene of a crash resulting in personal injury, negligent operation of a motor vehicle, speeding, failure to stop or yield, and resisting arrest.

The officer who was hit by Baylies’s car was taken to Charlton Memorial Hospital with an upper body injury. He was treated and released, police said. Baylies was taken to St. Luke’s Hospital for evaluation.

Baylies was arraigned Thursday in New Bedford District Court, said a spokesman for the Bristol district attorney’s office. She was held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing on Dec. 15.
