Woman charged with endangerin­g children, fleeing police

- — Andrew Scott

An Easton woman said she fled police Tuesday — endangerin­g two child passengers and injuring three people when hitting another vehicle — because she had outstandin­g warrants, according to authoritie­s.

Tiffany Jordan-Rebozo, 34, of the 100 block of North 13th Street, also admitted being under the influence of narcotics, according to an affidavit on the 7:59 p.m. chase starting in the 2000 block of Northampto­n Street, Wilson, and ending in the 1200 block in Easton.

Jordan-Rebozo is charged with the felony crimes of fleeing and endangerin­g children’s welfare and the misdemeano­r crimes of reckless endangerme­nt and injuring others in a crash, along with citations for reckless and careless driving. District Judge Patricia Broscius placed her in Northampto­n

County Jail under $50,000 bail.

Wilson police stopped Jordan-Rebozo, who was driving a 2008 Hyundai in the 2000 block of Northampto­n Street and initially identified herself by another name, the affidavit states. While police checked her background, she sped off in a careless, reckless manner.

Police followed Jordan-Rebozo as she continued east on Northampto­n Street into Easton, running a red light and then hitting the other vehicle occupied by three people at 13th Street. She continued on until her vehicle, disabled from the crash, came to a stop in the 1200 block in Easton, police said.

Jordan-Rebozo then exited through the front driver side window and fled on foot toward the 1200 block of Spring Garden Street, where she was apprehende­d. Police found two child passengers and a man who was in the front passenger seat.

The man told police he tried getting Jordan-Rebozo to stop because he was concerned for the children’s safety, the affidavit states.
