Just like the George Jones song, “The race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch.....

Last weekend Missouri City police responded to a rather messy domestic dispute when a former girlfriend paid an unscheduled and apparently unannounced visit to her ex while he was entertaining a new companion. The issues between the two former devotees slipped out into the driveway and just minutes later through the streets of the Lake Olympia neighborhood.

Seems the spurned devotee arrived at the home to get some things carved out. When the discussion went south she got back into her car. Evidently he was not finished with his input, so he jumped on top of her in the driver’s seat of her car. Knowing full well that spot was not designed for double occupancy – get your minds out of the gutter!

So what’s a girl to do? He’s parked himself right on top of her in her car trying to get control of her and the car!

So, as any practical quick thinking girl, who’s got her child in the car while visiting a former devotee would do, she grabbed a steak knife from the glove box and poked him till he got out of her car! Sheeesh!

However, he must have not been finished because as she fled the neighborhood he gave chase ... ramming her car and eventually forcing her to crash. When police arrived the man refused medical attention for his battle wounds and went to jail for aggravated assault.
