ANDERSON COUNTY — An Anderson woman is accusing her ex-boyfriend of attempting to run her down, while he says he was merely attempting to escape a violent woman, according to officials.

According to the Anderson County Sheriff's Office, the 18-year-old woman said it was around 11:40 p.m. Thursday in the 4800 block of S.C. 187 South when the 33-year-old man attempted to accelerate his vehicle and run over her.

The man told deputies that he was attempting to retrieve personal items when the woman “became irate, yelling at him, throwing bottles at his car and kicking the door to his vehicle,” according to the incident report.

The man drove off, telling deputies that the woman might have fallen and hit her head, but denying that he had injured her on purpose, according to the report.

“He said he was just trying to get away, because of the way she was acting,” Deputy A. Land said in the report.

The woman said her former boyfriend, a Starr resident, was accompanied by his wife and “gunned” the vehicle and tried to run over her while she was attempting to deliver a box of his possessions, according to the report.

The alleged victim was thrown from the vehicle and suffered a “knot to her head,” but was otherwise unharmed, according to Land’s report.Both accounts would be presented to a magistrate to determine if action should be taken in the court system, according to the report.
