A man was arrested after striking his girlfriend with a vehicle in Central Florida.
Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office deputies charged 28-year-old Levi Stevenson with Attempted Murder after he struck his girlfriend with a vehicle. Deputies responded to East 138th Avenue in Tampa, where a woman was struck by a car and transported to the hospital with non-threatening injuries.
Detectives learned that Stevenson and the victim got into an altercation, and when she tried to call for help, he forcefully took her phone.
As the victim was walking along the side of East 138th Avenue, Stevenson veered off the roadway, struck her with his vehicle, and then fled the area, according to local law enforcement.
“A moment of anger should never cost someone their life. This victim showed incredible courage by walking away from a dangerous situation, only to be met with unthinkable violence,” said Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister. “Thanks to the determination of our detectives, this individual is now in custody and will face the consequences of his actions.”
Stevenson was located and arrested and faced Attempted Murder in the Second Degree and Robbery by Sudden Snatching charges.
