FORSYTH, Ga. — A woman injured two police officers after she attempted to escape arrest on Thursday in Forsyth.

After they left, the officers were told that the woman involved in the case, Autumn Thomas, had an active warrant out against her for another department.
Both of the officers then went to the LaQuinta Inn on Russel Parkway where Thomas worked to arrest her.
While they were talking to her she got in her car where she had left her child, and attempted to drive off.
