Woman Arrested for Drunk Driving, Throwing Bricks at Victim

North Fort Myers, FL - A North Fort Myers woman was arrested Saturday after she allegedly crashed into a car, threw cinder blocks at the victim, and fled the scene.

Around 8:52 p.m., Patricia Momaney crashed into a man's car in the Publix parking lot at 6700 Bayshore Road.

The victim attempted to speak to Momaney, but she fled the scene.

The victim followed her while calling law enforcement.

Momaney reached a dead end and got out of her car.

She took three cinder blocks from a driveway and threw them at the victim, striking him in the shin and causing a cut.

Momaney then attempted to flee again, but the victim placed two cinder blocks under her front tires to prevent her from escaping.

She got out of the car and ran along Bayshore Road.

Deputies were able to identify Momaney from a photo lineup and obtain a sworn statement from the victim.

They established a perimeter around the area and searched with a K9 unit.

They also reviewed security camera footage from the neighborhood.

Based on the evidence gathered, deputies located Momaney at a residence.

A man at the residence told deputies that Momaney was sleeping inside and that she had told him she was running from someone and needed a place to stay.

Momaney was arrested and charged with aggravated battery and leaving the scene of a crash with property damage.
