• Phedeline St. Felix told police in Pompano Beach, Florida, she had gone to a city park in mid-March to settle an argument with another woman when she allegedly drove her car over a gate and into a playground, accidentally hitting Chaunda McCleod and her 3-year-old grandson instead, injuring them both.
"I was attempting to run (the other woman) over," St. Felix said, according to WPLG-TV.
McCleod said she saw a fight brewing in the park and "started to get all the kids together to get them out of the park. ... As I'm picking (my grandson) up, she's just hitting us both and we just went flying over the car and finally we hit the ground."
St. Felix was arrested and ordered not to have any contact with the victims. [Local10.com, 3/23/2021]
