On January 12, 2022 at 11:32 p.m., Norfolk Police were called to a residence in the 1200 block of Prospect Avenue to check the welfare of children that had been left home alone.  When officers arrived they confirmed that the parent was not there and that the children were alone.  While officers were there, the mother, Jayde Bomar, 34, of Norfolk, returned in the car she was driving.  Officers had contact with her and could smell a strong odor of alcohol coming from her.  She would not answer any questions about the situation with the children or about her alcohol consumption. Bomar refused to comply with multiple requests and attempted to walk away from officers on multiple occasions.  She was arrested for obstructing a police officer and child neglect.  She was transported to the Norfolk City Jail where she refused to perform any field sobriety maneuvers, a preliminary breath test and chemical test.  She was then also arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol - third offense, refusal to submit to a preliminary breath test and refusal to submit to a chemical test of her breath.  She was housed in the Norfolk City Jail and later transferred to the Madison County Jail.  Arrangements were made with a relative to watch and supervise the children.
