Woman Accused Of Hitting 3 Teens With Car Released From South Jersey Jail

GLASSBORO, NJ — The South Jersey woman accused of running her car into three teenagers after a fight is out of jail ahead of a hearing in December, a report says and records show.

Glassboro police charged 20-year-old Mikayla Rodriguez-Green with three counts of attempted murder and three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for the October 17 incident at Hollybush Apartments.

Now, Superior Court Judge Michael J. Silvanio ordered Rodriguez-Green released from jail in Salem County on several conditions, according to an NJ.com report.

Officials say Rodriguez-Green, of Pilesgrove, intentionally hit the teen girls with her car. Glassboro police arrived to the apartment complex for a report of a "large fight" and an officer saw her run over the curb and strike the teens, officials said.

The girls, aged 13, 15, and 16, had non-life threatening injuries, police said. They were not involved in the fight, police added. Read more — Woman Intentionally Hits 3 Teens With Car After Fight: Police

Police said Rodriguez-Green, of Pilesgrove, then tried to flee the apartment complex, but officers stopped her and arrested her.

She and her infant child's father had been arguing over a vape device, Gloucester County prosecutors said in court. Prosecutors said Rodriguez-Green told police she wanted to hurt the baby's father and admitted "she just wanted to hit someone," the NJ.com report said.

Rodriguez-Green's public defender said she had been taking medication for her anger issues before her pregnancy, but was unable to take it while pregnant and breastfeeding, the report said.

Judge Silvianio said he did not believe she would repeat the behavior, and placed her on home detention (except for work, medical appointments, or court hearings), according to NJ.com. He also ordered a mental health evaluation, the report said.
