NAMPA, Idaho — A woman wanted on three warrants for violating probation is still at large after fleeing from police officers Monday afternoon, the Nampa Police Department said late Monday night. Another person who was in the area where the pursuit started is in jail, accused of trying to hit a police officer with his motorcycle.
According to the police department, an officer on Garrity Boulevard near 39th Street saw 27-year-old Crystal Rose Pero of Middleton, recognized her, and knew she had outstanding warrants. While Nampa dispatchers were confirming the warrants, police said, officers contacted her, and that's when she drove away in a black Audi car with no license plates. Officers pursued her for a short time, then determined the conditions were not safe and terminated the chase.
People with information on Pero's whereabouts are asked to call their nearest police department or sheriff's office. Her criminal history includes guilty pleas to drug possession and damaging a jail. In addition to the three warrants related to probation violations, Pero faces a new charge of felony eluding stemming from Monday's incident, police said.
Two men on motorcycles had stopped in the same area from where Pero had driven off. Police said one of them started to flee and intentionally swerved at an officer who was on foot. Because the motorcyclist had come so close, nearly hitting him, according to the police department, the officer was able to push him away.
The motorcyclist lost control, dumped his bike in the parking lot, and ran away. Police stopped and arrested him after a foot chase. The Nampa Police Department has identified him as 31-year-old Jacob Wolfe Kincade Davis of Nampa. He has been booked into the Canyon County Jail on suspicion of battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting and obstructing. He's also being held on a federal warrant for methamphetamine distribution.
The Nampa Police officer involved in the incident with the motorcyclist was treated at the hospital for a hand injury, then released.
