Local woman arrested for endangering a child

A local woman was arrested for felony injury to a child.

Crystal Knapek was arrested after she jumped into traffic on Friday morning, while she was naked and holding onto a baby.

Boise Police were called W. State and N. Arthur Street when they got reports of Knapek running into traffic, where drivers had to slam on their breaks to avoid hitting her and the child.

Officers soon determined that the child was in danger and had to physically restrain the woman to safety take the child, who is now in the custody of Idaho Department of Health & Welfare.

Knapek was taken to the hospital for evaluation before being placed under arrest and taken to the Ada County Jail.
