Video Shows Car Jump Curb, Chase Down Child on Sidewalk; Driver Arrested
Deputies said the 56-year-old driver admitted drinking and was booked on attempted assault, DUI and trespass charges after the two incidents.
- On April 28, 56-year-old Wendy A. Clemente allegedly drove onto a sidewalk in Spokane County, chasing a juvenile on a dirt bike before leaving the area.
- Approximately 25 minutes later, deputies received a report of a possible trespass roughly one mile away at a home on West Melville Road, where the homeowner observed Clemente attempting to open doors via a live security system.
- Clemente initially denied consuming alcohol despite deputies noting signs of impairment, though she later admitted to drinking; she claimed she was looking for dogs to "socialize with" and resisted arrest by attempting to kick a deputy.
- Spokane County Superior Court Commissioner N. Swennumson ordered Clemente released on her own recognizance after she was charged with first-degree attempted assault, DUI, and first-degree criminal trespass.
- Authorities confirmed the juvenile was not injured during the encounter; investigators continue reviewing cellphone video and security footage to determine if additional charges are warranted.
