Four Teens Arrested After Assualting Teen Then Running Over Mother
Four teenagers have been charged with attempted murder after they purposely ran over the mother of another teen with whom they had an ongoing dispute, deputies said.
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office said that deputies responded to the teenaged victim’s home in Polk City on Monday afternoon. They found a victim critically injured after being run over by a van and the suspects had fled the scene.
They said that the suspect vehicle was quickly located though by responding deputies and Auburndale police officers. They learned that 18-year-old Elijah Stansell and three other teens went to the victim’s house to “handle” an ongoing dispute that was romantic in nature. They banged on the front door but the victim reportedly came out of the side door and into the carport to see who was there.
