A suspect was arrested after a standoff and chase near DFW Airport Wednesday morning.

She had been barricaded inside a car in a parking lot near the airport's main tower before leading police on a second pursuit. An airport spokesman said the incident began with a slow-speed chase after the woman fled from a traffic stop on airport grounds.

"DFW Airport’s Department of Public Safety police are responding to a driver who refuses to get out of a car in a remote area on the Airport’s east side," the airport said in a statement during the standoff.

The woman was later arrested in the 2600 block of South Airfield Drive.

Operations on the east side of the airfield were briefly suspended, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. Fewer than 10 flights were delayed and normal operations have resumed, the FAA said.
