Overview
- Deputies say the driver, recorded on a neighbor’s phone April 28, drove onto a sidewalk and chased a child on a bike, and the child was not hurt.
- About 25 minutes later and roughly a mile away, a homeowner watching a live security feed reported someone trying door handles, and deputies found the suspect and her car in the driveway.
- Investigators noted signs of impairment, the suspect first denied using alcohol then admitted drinking, and a judge approved a warrant for a blood sample that has not yet been processed.
- The sheriff’s office charged Wendy A. Clemente, 56, with attempted first-degree assault, DUI, and first-degree criminal trespass, and she was released the next day on her own recognizance.
- The sheriff released the cellphone video Monday, drawing wide coverage, while parts of a homeowner’s media account of what happened at the house remain unconfirmed in official records.
