TEXARKANA, AR – A local woman has been arrested on an aggravated assault charge after a hit and run.
The Texarkana Police Department (TPD) says Akirrah Gulley-Booker, 24, was driving the vehicle that hit a 17-year-old girl on Sunday evening.
It happened shortly after 10 p.m. in the 900 block of Ferguson Street.
The victim was taken to the hospital for injuries that police said were not life-threatening.
The TPD says the incident followed a “verbal disturbance” between Gulley-Booker and a group of people who were standing in the street. Police say the woman turned her vehicle around, hit the victim, and then drove away.
The investigation eventually led officers to locate the driver of the vehicle shortly later in the parking lot of a business.
