Woman charged with driving into deputy, two patrol cars before police chase

A Martinez woman this week was arrested after allegedly striking a Columbia County deputy with her car.

Danielle Summer Lambert, 34, was charged with two counts of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, two felony counts of fleeing a police officer, felony interference with government property, willful obstruction of law enforcement officers, driving with a suspended license, trafficking illegal drugs, theft by shoplifting, and a probation violation.

Just before 9:30 p.m. Monday, deputies pulled Lambert over because the car was linked to a shoplifting at Academy Sports, according to an incident report. Lambert began "yelling out" that she was trying to get home to her son.
