A $5,000 bond was set Monday for a Pine Bluff woman accused of attempting to run her ex-boyfriend over with a car following a verbal altercation.
Jefferson County District Judge Kim Bridgforth set the bond after ruling prosecutors have probable cause to charge Evansila Jackson, 54, with aggravated assault on a family or household member.
Reading from an affidavit by Detective Mike Merritt, Deputy Prosecutor Lisa McGriff said at 3:38 a.m. Sunday, police were sent to 2007Wellington Drive in response to a reported domestic disturbance.
Police received information that Jackson was going to another address driving a red vehicle and went to that address where she was detained after pulling into the driveway in a red vehicle. She was later taken to the adult jail where she was interviewed by Detective Merritt and gave a statement.
She was ordered to have no contact with the victim and told to come back to court Oct. 8.
