A preliminary investigation revealed that Contreras and the victim had argued over the phone during the day and he returned to the house around 10 p.m. to pick up some of his things.
That’s when Contreras is accused of headbutting him, bruising one of his eyes. Then, deputies said Contreras got in her car and drove it into the man’s car several times.
“When she started having difficulty getting traction in the wet grass, the victim got into his vehicle to leave. Contreras managed to ram his car several more times with him inside of it before he drove away and called 911,” HCSO said.
The sheriff’s office said Contreras briefly followed her victim in her car before going back to the house.
Deputies charged Contreras with second-degree criminal damage to property and battery under the Family Violence Act, as well hit and run and driving under the influence.
The sheriff’s office said Contreras was awarded a $19,700 bond and posted it, being released from the jail early on Tuesday morning.
