A woman and her boyfriend had been out and were driving to the woman’s house. The woman said she was feeling pain in her back and asked her boyfriend to take her to the hospital.
He refused to take her, causing a verbal dispute between them.
They had stopped the car near the intersection of Chambers Drive and Rodgers Street. They sat in the car for about 10 minutes, presumably arguing, Qualters said.
After fighting, the man opened the passenger door from the driver’s seat and attempted to push the woman from the vehicle. She told police she was hanging onto the door because she didn’t want to be struck by oncoming traffic.
Eventually, he was able to push her from the vehicle and drove away. The intersection was a block away from the woman’s house. After falling from the vehicle, she went to her home and called police.
Police attempted to contact the man but were unable to get an answer. They questioned the woman and called an ambulance because of her previous complaint of back pain. She was taken to the hospital, Qualters said.
The case is active and remains under investigation.
