A South Carolina woman has been charged with attempted murder after she hit her husband with her SUV and then had her kids put him in the vehicle and drove off.

Brittany Rose Hernandez was arrested on Thursday for the incident which took place on Tuesday in Forest Acres.

Forest Acres Police said a witness called after seeing a pedestrian struck by a Chevy Traverse and dragged underneath it. The witness said two children, who had been passengers in the SUV, got out and “pulled the man from under the vehicle.”

Police officers checked for security footage in the area and eventually identified Hernandez as the suspect. They located her on Wednesday at her home in Columbia and found the injured 44-year-old man. He was suffering from serious injuries and had not received medical treatment, so he was taken to a hospital.

In a police report obtained by WACH, officers said Hernandez and her husband were fighting when they pulled into a parking lot in Forest Acres. Hernandez went inside, and when she returned, the husband had gotten out of the vehicle. Hernandez turned around and followed him.

The report says that surveillance video showed the man walking away from the vehicle, but Hernandez took a sharp turn into him, dragging him for about 10 feet. The cameras captured the children getting out and pulling their dad from under the car, then putting him in before Hernandez drove away.

Hernandez appeared before a judge on Friday and was given a $100,000 bond and ordered to have no contact with her husband, who was in critical condition with a broken jaw and a shattered orbital bone.

“If we hadn’t found him when we did, I’m not sure he would have been here the next day,” Forest Acres Police Chief Don Robinson said.
