The 35-year-old woman allegedly told officers she had “drank many beers”.

An intoxicated woman in Utah allegedly attempted to kidnap a one-year-old child while holding a kitchen knife, police say.

ABC-4 reports that 35-year-old Ambrey Lynn Welch was arrested on Sunday after the Ogden Police Department responded to a disturbance call in which they were told multiple people were arguing on the street.

Upon arriving at the scene in Ogden — a city located about 40 miles north of Salt Lake City — Welch allegedly told officers she had “drank many beers,” had slurred speech, and was carrying a beer can and a silver kitchen knife that measured around 10 inches long.
