A 47-year-old man from Arkansas is facing charges after allegedly stalking and attempting to run over his ex-wife in a Kroger parking lot, all while police officers were present. Identified as Phillip Blake Mink, he was apprehended last week and now faces charges of attempted first-degree murder and first-degree stalking, according to court documents.

Officers from the Jonesboro Police Department were called to the victim’s residence on the afternoon of Thursday, January 15, following reports of a protective order violation. Upon arrival, they spoke with the victim, who reported that her ex-husband, Mink, had ignored a court order by showing up at her home. He allegedly rang her doorbell multiple times and knocked on her windows, trying to coax her outside, as detailed by Jonesboro Right Now reported.

The victim stated that Mink sent her numerous text messages because she refused to come outside. Subsequently, Mink was said to have left the scene in a white Ford F-150, prompting officers to begin a search for the vehicle.

Later that day, the victim flagged down a police officer at the entrance of the Kroger parking lot while she was on a phone call with Mink, as reported by local ABC and NBC affiliate KAIT reported. The store is situated in the 1700 block of S Caraway Road in Jonesboro.

During the call, officers reportedly overheard Mink shouting at the victim. As they were on the phone, officers allegedly saw Mink driving past the Kroger, heading in the direction of the victim’s home.

Police attempted to pull over Mink’s vehicle, but he reportedly made a sudden U-turn, driving across a patch of grass and entering the Kroger parking lot.

“Mink began traveling at a high rate of speed in the parking lot toward the victim. Mink intentionally struck the victim’s vehicle while she was sitting inside, causing a collision,” police wrote in a probable cause affidavit obtained by the Jonesboro Sun. “Mink gets out of his vehicle almost immediately after and runs toward the victim’s vehicle on the driver side. The officer on scene heard one single shot and Mink say, ‘she shot me, she shot me.’”

While the victim did fire a warning shot as Mink approached her vehicle, he was not struck by the shot, police said.

In an interview with police, the victim admitted that she fired a single round “due to her being in fear for her life.”

“Detectives recovered video footage of this collision that confirms the victim’s statements,” police reportedly wrote.

Mink was taken into custody at the scene and is currently being held in the Craighead County Jail on a $100,000 cash-only bond.

In addition to murder and stalking, Mink is also facing one count each of first-degree criminal mischief and violation of an order of protection. He is scheduled to appear in court for his arraignment on Feb. 27.
