Irving Police Arrest Woman on Nolan County Theft Warrant
Amanda Eberhard, 27, was taken into custody in North Irving and later charged with assaulting a peace officer during restraint.
Updated on Nov. 3, 2026 in Property Crime
Irving police arrested 27-year-old Amanda Eberhard on an outstanding theft warrant issued in Nolan County at about 10:34 a.m. on October 22, 2026, in the 3400 block of Chime Street in North Irving. While being restrained in a patrol vehicle, Eberhard kicked an officer, and police charged her with assault of a peace officer.
Why it matters
The arrest shows how an out-of-county warrant can lead to a local booking and new charges when a suspect resists officers. Police said the force of Eberhard's movements raised concerns that she could injure herself or the officers, which led to the decision to apply leg restraints.
Eberhard was booked into the Irving Jail on an outstanding Nolan County theft warrant and a new charge of assault of a peace officer. The officer suffered an abrasion to his right forearm, and the status of the theft case and the assault charge has not been reported.

Timeline
October 22, 2026, approximately 10:34 a.m.: Eberhard arrested in the 3400 block of Chime Street in North Irving.
Legal Context
Assault of a peace officer is prosecuted under Texas Penal Code Section 22.01, which elevates ordinary assault when the victim is a public servant performing official duties. Cases like this one, where a warrant arrest escalates into a charge during restraint, reflect how Texas prosecutors routinely pair outstanding warrants with new offenses committed during custody.
Residents of North Irving should be aware of police activity in the 3400 block of Chime Street on October 22, 2026. The case illustrates that outstanding warrants from other Texas counties can result in local arrests and booking at the Irving Jail.
The takeaway
Outstanding warrants can surface during routine encounters, and resisting officers during transport can add charges that outlast the original case. Anyone with an active warrant in another county should consider resolving it promptly to avoid an unexpected arrest.
