After contacting the victim and the victim's mother, the victim told deputies that her children's father, Charles Ellsworth Powell Jr., had attempted to hit her with his vehicle, spun out and rammed the rear of her vehicle before stopping due to significant damage to the vehicle. The victim then continued to her children's school where she then called authorities and waited for them to arrive.

Witnesses stated that Powell, along with a woman named Candy Marie Pero, 21, had gotten into separate vehicle and traveled back to La Grange. Deputies went to a residence in the 2500 block of W.C.
