(KAIR)--A Saint Joseph, Missouri woman is in custody, accused of running over an Atchison man in an Atchison alley Monday evening.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, in a release, said 29-year-old Olivia Sands has been taken into custody in Buchanan County, Missouri, arrested on an Atchison County District Court Warrant for aggravated battery.

Sands was booked into the Buchanan County Jail.

Her arrest follows an investigation by Atchison Police that began after they were called to the 700 block of South 5th Street around 7:45 Monday evening.

It was in an alley at that location that Wilson said the 55-year-year-old victim jumped in front of Sands’ vehicle in an effort to prevent her from leaving. However, it’s alleged that instead of stopping, Sands continued to drive eastbound in the alley, striking the man, who ended up on the hood of the vehicle, and traveled for a distance before falling off.

Sands left the scene, and the man was transported for hospital treatment by Atchison County EMS.

According to Wilson, the victim, identified as Eldon Roles, suffered a broken leg.

Wilson said Roles and Sands are acquainted.
