A Pahokee woman is accused of striking her ex-boyfriend with a crowbar and attempting to run him over with her car.
Deputies with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO) say they responded to a domestic dispute and vehicle hit-and-run call in Belle Glade around 2 p.m. Thursday.
Deputies reported meeting with the victim at the scene, who said the suspect, JB, 27, had struck him several times with a crowbar before attempting to hit him with her car.
According to the victim’s statement, B had attempted to gain access to his residence. When he tried to prevent her from entering, she struck him in the head with the crowbar, and he pushed her down the stairs.
After hitting him with the crowbar a second time, she allegedly got in her car and attempted to run over him, before crashing into his parked vehicle instead.
A witness statement and ring doorbell footage confirmed the victim’s story, per PBSO.
When deputies caught up with B at her Pahokee residence, they searched her vehicle and found a small crowbar and a black semi-automatic pistol, 9mm, in her pink purse on the center console.
PBSO deputies found probable cause to book Bell on counts of domestic aggravated battery and possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
