A wild scene in Norfolk ended with a woman behind bars, facing a long list of charges.
Police told WAVY.com it all started Sunday in a Norfolk parking lot. Jennifer Jones is accused of stealing another woman's purse.
The victim, Jeanette Balazsi, told WAVY.com she refused to let the suspect get away. So she jumped on the hood of the suspect's car, but the woman drove off anyway. Balazsi says she eventually jumped off the car, about a half mile later.
"I knew standing in front of the car would be somewhat dangerous, but I didn't feel like I had time to get over to her driver's door and the Food Lion Guy was trying to get the purse from her, so I thought, if I just stay here, she can't go anywhere. When she started to go...I just didn't feel like I could get out of the way, so I just kind of went on the hood," Balazsi said.
Police eventually caught up with the suspect and arrested her. Balazsi was not seriously hurt.
Police charged the suspect, Jennifer Jones, with a number of counts including Theft, DUI, Child Abuse and Neglect, Eluding Police and Hit and Run.http://www.wavy.com/dpp/news/local_wavy_hitandrun_purse_theft_20090505
She must have had kids in her car. If she kept going, probably could have added a murder charge of some sort.
