Rachel Walls, 34, of East Benton Street is charged with careless and reckless, DWI, open container, hit-and-run, child restraint violation and child abuse.
Benson Police Chief Kenneth Edwards said the department received a phone call about the incident around 11:15 p.m. Tuesday.
"According to one witness' statement ... she was parked in front of her apartment (in a burgundy van) drinking and listening to music," Chief Edwards said. "Then she moved the van to the center of the parking lot where she sat drinking and listening to various kinds of music for a little while.
"Then she moved the van to another parking space where the witness said she sat there staring at people for about 10 minutes, cranked the van, put it into gear and floored it - went straight for a group of kids," he said.
Chief Edwards said Ms. Walls, driving on the sidewalk and grass, then allegedly steered her van toward another nearby group of children and adults standing in front of their apartments before driving around to the back yard of her apartment where she struck a guy wire - which knocked out power to the whole apartment complex - and a fence. She then drove away and left the scene.
Chief Edwards said he arrived on the scene about 11:25 and soon received a call from one of his officers saying Ms. Walls was seen heading back toward the apartment complex on South Lee Street.
Chief Edwards said he blocked the road, which leads into the complex, with his car but Ms. Walls drove around him by hopping the curb and driving on the grass.
He said she initially slowed when she encountered Officer Danny Lucas, but then accelerated toward him, despite the fact that he had his gun out and was issuing commands, Chief Edwards said.
Chief Edwards said Ms. Walls swerved at the last moment missing Officer Lucas and finally came to a stop behind her apartment.
"She was conscious, but unresponsive to our commands," Chief Edwards said of the moment when officers swarmed the vehicle. "She was unsteady on her feet to the point she could not stand on her own.
"To make matters worse, she had a small child, 5 years old, unsecured, standing in the back of the van," he said. "Found out later she had three children, one of whom was left at home unattended."
Chief Edwards said there were five bottles of liquor in the van, "well on their way," to being finished. Ms. Wells refused to submit to a Breathalyzer, but officers obtained a search warrant for a blood sample. Chief Edwards said his department is waiting on the results from the SBI.
He said the Department of Social Services secured Ms. Walls' children with their grandmother around 1 a.m. Wednesday.
"In the aftermath, she said she didn't remember anything about the incident," Chief Edwards said. "That was as dangerous as anything I've seen in a long time."
Ms. Wells was held under $3,500 bond.
