Chief Michael P. Ward of the City of Bradford Police Department announces the arrest of Jennifer Lee Coldren following a traffic stop and pursuit on December 12, 2025.

At approximately 1152 hrs on York Street in the City of Bradford, Officer Blair attempted to stop a motor vehicle for a traffic violation. The vehicle failed to stop and fled the area, prompting a pursuit into Foster Township’s Bolivar Drive.

City of Bradford Police Officers were assisted by Foster Township Police in the pursuit. The vehicle was abandoned in the front yard of a residence, and the female operator, Jennifer Lee Coldren, was chased on foot into a nearby residence where she was apprehended.

A search warrant was executed on the defendant’s vehicle, resulting in the seizure of drug paraphernalia. It was determined that Coldren was driving under the influence of controlled substances. She was charged with fleeing and eluding, drug paraphernalia, DUI, and numerous traffic offenses. Magistrate William Todd arraigned Coldren and remanded her to McKean County Jail on $25,000 bail. Preliminary hearings are scheduled in the matter.

The City of Bradford Police Department takes DUI and traffic offenses extremely seriously and will prosecute to the fullest extent. The involvement of illegal narcotics in this incident is also a significant concern, as it poses a threat to the safety of our community. We will not tolerate such behavior and will continue to work diligently to keep our streets safe.
