Driver misses ex-boyfriend, but not garages and house
She may have missed her ex-boyfriend, but she did run down two garages and a house.
It was something of a disaster scene when police pulled up in the 1100 block of Windsor just before 9:45 Tuesday evening, Aug. 3. A 1997 Dodge Caravan with extensive damage was in one back yard, two garages also had extensive, plus a house showed damage to its foundation.
Sitting behind the wheel of the Dodge was a 48-year-old woman driver, who said she was uninjured. When asked, she admitted she’d been drinking.
The woman’s ex-boyfriend told police the driver had called him and requested he step outside. The two met in the alley and argued. The ex-boyfriend said the woman pulled a .22-caliber pistol, which he grabbed from her and threw into the street. No pistol was ever recovered.
Disarmed, the woman got into the Dodge, hit the accelerator and tried to run him down, according to the ex-boyfriend. Instead, she bounced off one garage, ran through a second garage and through a fence before hitting a house. Witnesses said the airbags deployed, and the woman attempted to throw the Dodge in reverse and flee. Her effort was unsuccessful.
An initial sobriety test indicated the woman was impair. Officers reported the odor of alcohol when they first approached the woman. She refused any further sobriety tests.
She was taken to the county lockup and faces numerous possible misdemeanor charges and possible felonies when she appears in court later Wednesday.
