MOULTRIE — A Moultrie woman reported a male acquaintance tried to run her over with an SUV Wednesday night.
A Colquitt County sheriff’s deputy was called to a house on Doc Darbyshire Road at 8:17 p.m. Wednesday about the incident. The deputy spoke with Elizabeth Fraley, and she stated she and the male acquaintance had spent the evening talking at the house when he got into his Chevrolet Tahoe to leave.
When he got into the Tahoe, Fraley stated she reached inside and grabbed a pair of sunglasses. The man became upset and demanded she give the sunglasses back or give him some movies back, but she refused to do either and walked away from the SUV.
As Fraley walked away, she stated the Tahoe was coming at her in an attempt to run her over. She was able to get out of the way but stated the vehicle caught her left leg as it left the scene. The deputy did not see a mark on her leg but saw tire tracks from where she stated the incident took place.
