Monday evening, an Amarillo police officer was driving Westbound on east Amarillo Blvd near Grant Street. The officer's patrol car was almost struck by a white car.
This vehicle had just struck another car, driven onto the curb, almost struck the officer and then came to a stop after striking a pole. The driver of the vehicle was identified as Kayawna Evans.
Officers determined Evans was intoxicated. A search warrant was drawn up for a blood warrant.
Evans was medically checked and cleared at a local hospital.
An 8-year-old child was in the vehicle with Evans. The child was treated at the scene for minor injuries and released to family.
