Oropeza fled the scene and led deputies on a car chase that was cut short after authorities realized she had kids in the vehicle. She was later arrested at her home.
Oropeza has been charged with burglary, assault and child endangerment. Her children were evaluated by Child Protective Services and turned over to relatives.
