According to the police report, Amanda was driving a pickup truck in the area of South International Drive and Daryl Carter Parkway, a few minutes from Universal Orlando, when she began to simultaneously occupy two lanes, driving over the dotted line separating the lanes, which caught the attention of a patrol car from the Orange County Sheriff's Office.
According to the report, the police activated their lights and siren and ordered the driver to stop, which she did not obey. The driver continued driving to her own residence, also in Orlando, where she was located and approached. At the location, she initially stated that she "didn't think she was being stopped."
According to the official report, while changing lanes, the vehicle had its left turn signal activated, despite moving to the right, which was inconsistent with the maneuver. The conduct was observed during routine patrol and classified as an improper lane change under Florida traffic law.
The documents point to three charges. The first is the crime of fleeing and disobeying a police order, for not stopping the vehicle after a legal order given with the use of lights and siren, conduct provided for in Florida statute 316.1935(2). The second is driving a vehicle without a valid driver's license in the state, an offense classified as a second-degree misdemeanor, according to statute 322.03(1). The third is the traffic violation for irregular lane change, provided for in statute 316.085.
During the approach, Amanda stated that she did not possess a driver's license issued by Florida. As she maintains residency in the state and holds a valid American visa until 2032, she is considered a resident for legal purposes and, according to local legislation, is required to have a state driver's license, which was not proven. According to records, she had already received a US$ 500 fine for driving without a local license. The businesswoman spent the night in jail and was presented at a custody hearing on Tuesday (3). The court set bail at US$ 500, an amount equivalent to approximately R$ 2,6 at the current exchange rate.

There, she confirmed that she was driving the vehicle. After being detained, she gave different versions of the events: first, she said she heard the lights and the siren, but wasn't sure if they were directed at her; then, she stated that she didn't hear any sound or visual signal.

The minutes of the Orange County Circuit Court hearing state that the judge ordered the application of the measure known as ROR (Release on Recognizance), or "Release under Terms of Commitment." The county's prisoner database already shows her release, indicating that she is responding to the proceedings while free.
As part of the terms, Amanda signed a document committing to notify the American justice system if she changes her address. The agreement also stipulates that if she fails to appear at future proceedings, the court may issue an arrest warrant.
