The incident began with a 911 call made by her husband, Ryan Edwards, who was concerned his wife might have been using drugs, as reported by TMZ.
Their one-year-old daughter, Presley, was in the car at the time of the incident, adding to the complexity of the case.
Amanda Conner's bail was set at $16,000, but as of Sunday afternoon, she had not been released.
The court also issued a no-contact order against the child involved, meaning Amanda cannot approach or contact her child's caregiver if she is released on bail, at least until her court hearing on June 3, 2026.
Details of the Shocking Arrest Incident
Amanda Conner's arrest occurred after Ryan Edwards contacted authorities with serious concerns.
Edwards reported that his wife refused to undergo a drug test and went for a drive with their one-year-old daughter, Presley.
The 911 call indicated Ryan's concern that Amanda might be under the influence of drugs.
Officers then stopped Amanda and charged her with three major charges: driving while intoxicated (DUI), child abuse or neglect, and driving in the wrong lane.
This case highlights the serious risks that can arise when someone drives while impaired, especially with a small child in the vehicle.
The no-contact order was issued to protect the safety of the child involved in the incident, ensuring that Presley was in a safe environment.
