GREENFIELD, Ind. — A Zionsville woman who allegedly fired a shot at police while with her children in May is now wanted in Hancock and Boone counties after failing to appear in court.

Lauren Cupp, 35, was scheduled for a court hearing stemming from Oct. 15, 2022, trespass and battery charges in Hancock County. Prosecutors now want to revoke Cupp's bond following arrest warrants being issued in both Hancock and Boone counties. 

Back in May, Cupp was with her children in the Royal Run neighborhood, which is located off Interstate 65 near Whitestown and Zionsville. She had an active warrant out for her arrest stemming from her October 2022 arrest in Hancock County.

After receiving a tip about Cupp's whereabouts, police visited the neighborhood to serve the arrest warrant. That's when she allegedly ran with her children before firing a shot at police and leaving her children behind. 

A K-9 officer located Cupp in the woods a short time after. Her children were not harmed and were placed in the custody of family following Cupp's arrest. 

EDITOR'S NOTE: This story has been updated to clarify that Cupp was not at the community pool and that only one shot was fired, like originally stated.
