A Cleveland woman faces aggravated assault charges after she allegedly drove into a group of pedestrians at the Walmart parking lot, injuring an elderly woman.
Police charged Deborah Richardson Inglehearn in the incident that happened Sunday afternoon around 1:20 p.m. at the Walmart on Thurmond Parkway in White County.
Cleveland Police Jeff Shoemaker says the initial investigation showed a driver, later identified as Inglehearn, was driving through the store parking lot in an “erratic and reckless manner.”
“The vehicle then swerved in the direction of a group of pedestrians striking an elderly female,” he says.
White County EMS transported the victim to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville with non life-threatening injuries. She was treated and released.
Cleveland police charged Inglehearn with three counts of aggravated assault and reckless driving and booked her into the White County Detention Center. As of Monday afternoon, March 7, no bond had been set.
The case remains under investigation.
