On Jan. 29, 2024, when deputies got to the scene in the 3400 block of Salem Avenue, they found a 29-year-old woman on the ground near the rear of a business. Her ankle was found to be severed from her leg.
A preliminary investigation revealed an argument between the woman and her boyfriend, Thomas. At one point, he got in the Kia, drove into her, and knocked her to the ground.
Her foot could not be saved by doctors and was amputated.
Thomas ran from the scene but was taken into custody almost a year later.
