“She saw me and went to run me over,” her father, David Dodson, of Lehigh Acres, told Lee County Sheriff’s Office deputies.<\/p>\n
A report made by the sheriff’s office said Name withheld (due to Lehigh Acres Gazette policy), 17, of Lehigh Acres, was arrested on felony charges of aggravated assault and aggravated battery using a deadly weapon.<\/p>\n
The report said father came home at 3 a.m. and saw a black car with its headlights off next to his work truck. He told deputies that there had been a theft attempt recently involving a black vehicle so he blocked the car in with his truck.<\/p>\n
When he approached the car it suddenly accelerated towards him leaving him no time to get out of the way. He said he jumped on the hood of the car, hitting the windshield, and then saw that it was the teen driving.<\/p>\n
He said that the car then turned onto 14th Street NW and slammed to a stop, throwing him off. Dodson said his daughter then backed up and swerved towards him, trying to run him over again and forcing him to roll into the grass to avoid being hit.<\/p>\n
Deputies investigating the scene said tire marks, a hand print on the windshield and significant windshield damage to the 2008 black Mitsubishi Eclipse and injuries to Dodson’s hands, arms and torso were consistent with his statement.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Dodson told deputies he was “scared to death” of his daughter and believed she might try to run him over again.<\/p>\n
While being interviewed by deputies, Teen called her father and he put the call on speaker, the report said. Deputies heard teen ask her father why he jumped on the car, repeatedly saying “I told you to get off the car.”<\/p>\n
He also told deputies that the issues with his daughter had started the day before when her mother saw her removing electronics from the home. A grand theft report on the electronics issue was made by Dodson.<\/p>\n
Teen refused to speak to deputies or anyone and was charged. She was taken to the juvenile assessment center and later transferred to Salus Care after making suicide threats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
