Hunter Valley police say they were patrolling the New England Highway at Blandford, about 60km north of Muswellbrook, about 6pm on Sunday when they attempted to stop a Great Wall X240 utility.
When the utility failed to stop, a police pursuit was initiated. It was terminated a short time later due to safety concerns.
The vehicle was later located parked in a carpark in Little Street, Murrurundi, and Ms McMulkin-Faithful was arrested nearby. She refused to undergo a roadside breath test and was taken to Muswellbrook police station where she was charged with 29 offences.
Ms McMulkin-Faithful did not apply for bail on Monday and the matter was adjourned for her to be sentenced on April 20.
