A man has been arrested after allegedly hitting a parked car in Evansdale and attempting to flee the scene, according to the Waterloo Cedar Falls Courier. Police were called to the 500 block of South Evans Road around 3:00 p.m. Sunday. Witnesses told police that they observed 27 year old Alex Tyer strike the parked vehicle and then point a gun at the person who called 911. Tyer would ditch his Oldsmobile Alero a few blocks away, at which point he got a small child out of the car and began walking away. Police stopped Tyer and the child in the 200 block of Wema Street.

The child was examined by paramedics before being released to her mother. Tyer has been charged with third offense OWI, Assault While Displaying a Weapon, Child Endangerment, Carrying Weapons, Public Intoxication and Striking an Unattended Vehicle.
