MANASSAS, Va. — A police officer tried to sever several warrants for a woman in Manassas and was nearly run over, police said.
It happened at 2 p.m. Wednesday in front of a home in the 8900 block of Traveller Street in Manassas. The officer walked up to the woman, who is now the suspect in the case, who was sitting inside of her car, and tried to serve a warrant. As the officer approached, the woman put the car in reverse nearly striking the cop, police said. The woman stopped the car and the cop tried to approach her a second time, and this time reached through the window of the car and grabbed the woman. She then put the car in drive, knocking the officer off balance, said Prince William police spokesman Jonathan Perok.
