Womack runs down boyfriend, police say

A woman who allegedly tried to run down her live-in boyfriend with the car he helped pay for was bound to the grand jury after the victim testified the whole incident wasn?t really that bad.

The defendant, Amanda Rose Womack, 20, was bound to the grand jury on the charge of aggravated assault for allegedly hitting her boyfriend, Nemon Winton, with a car following a domestic dispute between the two. Her binding came despite Winton, testifying in her preliminary hearing, saying he was never in fear for his safety and maintaining the person who wrote the warrant took liberties in adding elements to the incident. The judge did not believe Winton?s updated testimony, opting to bind Womack to the grand jury.

The incident which led to the felony charges against Womack happened as Winton was standing in the road following a dispute between the two. Winton reportedly told Womack?s father to tell the defendant to bring him the vehicle. When she did not comply, the warrant says Winton started walking back to his home when he heard the vehicle coming up behind him. At that point he reportedly started trying to flag her down.

?She swerved toward him, and he was not quick enough to get out of her way,? the warrant reads, noting Winton was knocked to the ground by the car.

The victim then pulled himself up and limped to a neighbor?s home where authorities were contacted. Officers say there were visible injuries on Winton, to his arm and face. The crime of aggravated assault is a Class C felony which carries three to six years in prison.
