North Dakota Woman Arrested For Running Over Person Trying To Take A Picture Of Her License Plate After She Committed A Hit And Run

FARGO – A Fargo woman faces a felony charge after she allegedly backed her car over a man who was taking a photo of her license plate after he pointed out to her she’d been involved in a hit-and-run. Vanessa Elizabeth Scott, 24, was charged Friday in Cass County District Court with one count of reckless endangerment, a Class C felony. According to court documents, police were called Thursday at around 11:14 p.m. to the scene of a hit-and-run crash in the 900 block of Westrac Drive in Fargo. The caller, Lenae Fitter, told police she was with her boyfriend, Benjamin Garter, when the pair came upon a two-car crash.

Fitter told police one of the cars was shoved up into a snowbank and surrounded by debris. The other car, a red Pontiac Grand Am with severe front-end damage, had a woman behind the wheel, trying to start the car. Fitter and Garner watched the woman start her car, then drive away. They followed the Grand Am to the 32nd Street and 17th Avenue South intersection and pulled up next to her. Garner told the woman she needed to go back to the accident and “take care of it,” to which the woman replied, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I didn’t do anything.” Garner then asked the woman if he could photograph her license plate, and she agreed. When Garner crouched down behind the Grand Am, the driver, who police allege was Scott, shifted the car into reverse and stepped on the gas, hitting Garner, who was thrown onto the trunk of the car and then onto the ground. Scott was later arrested. Her bail was set at $600. Her next court appearance is set for Feb. 5.

Oooooh Vanessa Scott is a bad bad bitch. Look, I know hindsight is 20/20 here but you have to use a little common sense no? I mean Vanessa Scott literally just hit someone with her car and ran away. That’s her thing. You think she gives a fuck? Clearly not, you saw it, she lives her life fast and loose. So you would think the last thing you would want to do is crouch behind her car to take a picture no? This guy basically watched someone touch the oven and burn themselves then decided to give it a try himself. The lesson is directly in front of you. If Vanessa Scott has an opportunity to run you over with her car she will take that opportunity 100 times out of 100 times. Figure it out. You’re basically Karen Hill minus any semblance of street smart.

It’s right down there, around the corner, just bend over behind my car and take your picture.
