This not to far from where I live. I busted out laughing:mixedsmi: >> Police say woman rammed husband's car into utility pole on Warwick NEWPORT NEWS—
A woman in Newport News has been arrested after police say she repeatedly rammed into her husband's car, forcing him to crash into a utility pole in a wreck that stopped traffic on Warwick Boulevard for five hours on Monday morning.
Valerie Ann Lacroix, 21, is charged with attempted malicious wounding and malicious wounding. Police spokeswoman Holly McPherson said additional charges may be added. Lacroix's husband, who has not been identified to the media, was treated at a local hospital for minor injuries, McPherson said.
The crash occurred around 12:15 a.m. in the northbound lanes of Warwick Boulevard near Atkinson Way. All northbound lanes of Warwick were blocked until after 5 a.m. while crews worked on the downed power lines.
McPherson said the incident began with an argument inside their residence in the 400 block of Cox Landing. She said the husband left the residence and got into his vehicle, and Lacroix got into her vehicle and ran into him, forcing his vehicle into two parked cars.
He proceeded onto Warwick, and Lacroix continued to pursue him as the two vehicles traveled southound in the northbound lanes of Warwick. McPherson said Lacroix rammed her husband's car a second time, causing him to strike a fire hydrant and two utility poles.
McPherson said the initial domestic argument was not a physical altercation, and no charges are planned against the husband.
