Authorities said the incident, which happened Sunday at the chain’s location at 2301 NE Eighth St., involved crashes into both a person and a pickup truck.

According to the Homestead Police Department, a woman was in the restaurant’s drive-thru just before 1:45 a.m. when Amber Nicole Collier, 32, of northwest Miami-Dade, drove “recklessly” through the parking lot and went the wrong way through the line, almost hitting the victim’s car.

Authorities said the victim drove to the stop sign and told Collier to “drive more carefully.”

This enraged Collier, according to police, who would eventually say to the woman, “You’re a rapist and a cracker; I’m going to kill you,” while trying to hit the victim with her vehicle, but hit a curb instead.

Police said another woman in the passenger’s seat of the victim’s car got out. Collier, according to the report, set her sights on her and rammed into her, bruising her elbow.

Authorities said Collier then took off and hit a pickup truck in the process.

The report states that Collier took off and a Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputy eventually pulled her over near U.S. 1 and Southwest 232nd Street, about six miles away from the restaurant in the unincorporated Princeton area.

Collier was previously arrested on April 6 after another traffic incident, according to court records. An MDSO arrest report states that she sped through a school zone near Lake Stevens Elementary School, just outside of Miami Gardens, told a deputy trying to pull her over, “I’m not pulling over,” then eventually did, pulling to the side of the road.

But authorities said the stop was short-lived. After telling the deputy, “I’m dropping my kids off,” she “took off” again, and the motorcycle deputy once again tried to stop her, the report states.

It states she eventually stopped outside of the school and the deputy took her into custody. Authorities said she told the deputy, “F— you, n—-,” and said “when she gets out of jail she was going to kill” him or her.

Collier, in her latest case, is facing charges of attempted aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and leaving the scene of a crash causing property damage.

As of Monday afternoon, she was being held in the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a $7,500 bond.
