Woman Leads Police On High-Speed Briley Parkway Chase With 3 Kids Along For The Ride

DONELSON, TN — Pulled over for going 80 mph on Briley Parkway, a 35-year-old woman sped away — also at 80 mph — from a traffic stop with three kids in the car, Metro Police say.

An MNPD officer clocked Amber Smith going 80 mph on Briley near Opryland and noted she was slow to pull over once he hit his lights and sirens. Once she did make it to the shoulder, the officer noticed three children in the car. All three were properly restrained.

The patrolman ran Smith's license, which came back revoked, and he was alerted Smith had two active warrants. Before he could return to her car, according to the report, Smith sped off and into traffic. The officer said she once again hit 80 mph and was swerving in and out of traffic.

Eventually, she was stopped and arrested. She is charged with driving on a revoked license, child endangerment and evading arrest.
