Stafford Woman Accused Of Hitting Deputy With Car Arrested: Police

STAFFORD COUNTY, VA — Authorities have identified the woman accused of hitting a deputy with her car during a traffic stop on Tuesday afternoon.

The deputy has been released from the hospital after he suffered minor injuries, the Stafford County Sheriff's Office said.

Police identified the suspect as 18-year-old Kimora Fagbewesa. She is charged with attempted capital murder, two counts of felony hit and run, felony eluding, reckless driving, and driving without a valid license.

If convicted of all charges, Fagbewesa could face more than 40 years in prison, based on Virginia's sentencing guidelines.

The incident occurred around 3:45 p.m. on Tuesday near the intersection of Garrisonville Road and Eustace Road, according to the police report. The deputy pulled over a Nissan Altima for a traffic stop.

When the deputy walked up to the Nissan, the woman behind the wheel drove into him. She struck the deputy, his motorcycle, and another vehicle before driving down Garrisonville Road and stopping at the 610 Car Wash, authorities said.

At the car wash, the driver abandoned the car and ran into the woods, police said. Investigators noted that a girl who was a passenger in the car also ran into the woods.

The sheriff's office K-9 and drone units found the girl, but they did not find the driver on Tuesday. Authorities arrested Fagbewesa on Wednesday in Baltimore, Maryland.
