A 41-year-old woman in Florida has been arrested after she allegedly ran down another woman with her Volkswagen Jetta because she spotted the victim walking with her estranged husband.

Christdon Reese was taken into custody on Friday and charged with one count each of attempted first-degree murder, trespassing, and violation of probation, authorities announced. According to a news release from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, on April 10 the victim and her boyfriend walked to a Circle K gas station in the 4900 block of U.S. Highway 92 East in Auburndale, Florida, where they purchased several items. The store is about 50 miles southwest of Orlando.

After leaving the store, the victim and her boyfriend were walking across Old Dixie Highway on their way to a friend’s house when the boyfriend allegedly spotted Reese, who drove past them heading south on that very road in a white Volkswagen Jetta.

Apparently angered by seeing her estranged husband with another woman, Reese allegedly decided to use her car as a weapon against the victim.

“Reese then used the parking lot of the nearby Family Dollar store to make a U-turn and head north, accelerating quickly in their direction,” the sheriff’s office said in the release. “The victim began to run down a driveway and Reese pursued her, striking her with her car. Reese then turned around in the driveway and fled north on Old Dixie Hwy at a high rate of speed.”

Surveillance footage from the Circle K allegedly captured Reese heading south then making the U-turn and driving north after seeing the couple.
