Authorities say the Edwardsville woman called 911 saying a man had tried to rob her at gunpoint when he pulled alongside her to ask for directions. She had her three children in the car with her.
Investigators say a dispatcher guided the woman to a nearby sheriff's department while the suspect followed. They say he realized too late where she was headed and was arrested a short time later.
The attorney assigned to Clay did not immediately respond to a phone message Thursday seeking comment.
