Wild Video Shows Driver Chase Child on Sidewalk, Face DUI Charges

A quiet neighborhood in Cheney was shaken by a chaotic scene when a driver allegedly veered onto a sidewalk and pursued a child riding a dirt bike, an encounter captured on cellphone video.

According to the New York Post, authorities say 👤Wendy Clemente, 56, was arrested after the alarming incident, which investigators believe involved impaired driving.

Footage recorded by a nearby resident shows a silver Ford Focus abruptly turning toward the young rider while its horn blares repeatedly. The child, riding along the street, appears to look back at the vehicle as the situation escalates.

“This woman is crazy,” the neighbor filming the scene is heard saying, as the car swerves dangerously close to the child.

Moments later, the driver reverses and then points the vehicle directly toward him again. The boy rides away as the car accelerates along the sidewalk, narrowly avoiding obstacles.

“She’s trying to run this … Oh my God … You’re kidding, oh my God,” the person filming is heard yelling.

The incident unfolded as deputies were already responding to a separate call roughly a mile away involving a reported burglary.

A homeowner, who was not present, had contacted authorities after seeing someone attempting to open doors via a live security camera feed.
