WILLIAMSTON
On February 12, Deputy J.G. Williams was dispatched to 144 Foster Rd. where he spoke with Christina Vandevender, WF, 41, 5’3″, 165 pounds, brn/blue. She stated that she had struck her husband, Charles Vandevender, WM, 46, 5’4″, 130 pounds, with her car when he tried to block her from leaving the residence. She said he had threatened her and she was afraid so when he sat in front of the car, she drove ahead and left. He followed in his truck. They returned to the site where she fled to her mother’s house next door and called 911.
Charles Vandevender confirmed most of the events but denied threatening her, saying he only wanted to talk about their marital situation. He said she had knocked him to the ground with the Kia Sorento and then drove forward, running over his right lower leg, which showed signs of swelling and bruising. Deputy Williams arrested Christina Vandevender for criminal domestic violence of a high and aggravated nature, because Charles posed no threat while sitting on the ground. She was placed in custody.
