Canton Woman Pleads No Contest To Running Over Her Then-Husband With SUV: Prosecutor

CANTON, MI — A Canton woman has pleaded no contest after prosecutors said she drove over her then-husband in a parking lot.

Alaina Fain, 39, pleaded no contest to assault with a dangerous weapon (felonious assault) and domestic violence, according to the Macomb County Prosecutor's Office.

A no contest plea means she accepts conviction and sentencing without formally admitting guilt.

She is expected to be sentenced on April 14. She faces up to four years in prison for the assault with a dangerous weapon (felonious assault) and up to 93 days in jail for domestic violence.

Prosecutors said the incident happened on June 13 in a Warren parking lot where she drove over her then-husband with her SUV.

"Violence is never the answer to conflict. When someone chooses violence, they are not just harming another person, they are breaking the law. Our community depends on respect for the rule of law, and my office will continue to pursue accountability for those who resort to violence instead of resolving their disputes in a lawful and responsible way," Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido said.
