An Alliance woman was arrested Wednesday after fleeing from police during a vehicle pursuit that ended with four children inside the vehicle, according to the Police Department in Alliance. Officers were initially called to the Dollar General at 1229 West 3rd Street at approximately 6.30 p.m. on the 9th for a reported disturbance, while officers were investigating, the vehicle involved returned to the area.

Officers attempted to stop the vehicle using emergency lights and verbal commands, but the driver fled. Officers later located the vehicle traveling eastbound on West 3rd Street and attempted another traffic stop. The driver again failed to stop, prompting a pursuit.

Reaching 55 miles an hour before pulling into a driveway in the 600 block of Sweetwater Avenue, officers conducted a felony traffic stop and arrested the 24-year-old Lylian Rose Star of Alliance. Four children ages 9, 9, 8, and less than a year were found inside the vehicle. She was booked on suspicion of four counts of felony intentional child abuse with no injury, felony operation of a motor vehicle to avoid arrest, four counts of transporting a child while intoxicated, DUI, resisting arrest, driving while revoked, reckless driving, and unlawful acts related to drugs.

Chief Leavitt said this incident could have ended very differently. "Driving impaired is dangerous under any circumstances." All persons arrested are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

While the Panhandle prepared for isolated thunderstorms, an actual touchdown of a tornado materialized east of us between Gross and Spencer in Boyd County, and in Chadron, extreme late summer heat across the Panhandle culminated in volatile conditions. A lightning strike sparked a new wildfire near Chadron.

Another busy day on Scanner Traffic, for those who are listening.

Around 2:30 AM, Kimball County Sheriff's Office was asking for assistance at an address in Dix for a possible break-in, possible firearm. The reporting party was unclear about the details, and after a series of communications back and forth, troopers did not have enough to go on and were never able to find any vehicle involved in said incident.

Around 10 AM, a two-vehicle accident happened, non-injury, with debris in the road, 21st Avenue and South Beltline in Scottsbluff. The accident did cause some temporary closures.

Just before noon, a structure fire was reported, 1202 11th Avenue in Mitchell, possible garage fire. Close to another residence, Engine 3 responded to Mitchell, so station coverage was requested at Scottsbluff. In the end, two patients, conscious and stable, were treated. We should see a press release on that from our local fire departments.

And then just after midnight, East 17th was the location of a reported assault victim. Ambulances responded, but were canceled by law enforcement on scene. That was in Scottsbluff.

A lot of our news does come through Scotts Bluff, but we also cover the entire Panhandle, 11 or 13 counties, however you want to count them, and that includes 21 local high schools, which we are now covering in our Sunday Scanner News.
