Floor It... Duh!

Woman tried to run over Black children playing in the street.

A white woman is facing ten charges in Broward County after she tried to run over children playing in the street. The woman wanted "target practice."

A Brevard County woman is in jail after allegedly admitting to driving toward a group of kids as "target practice."

Pamela Dresser, 59, has been arrested and charged with 10 offenses related to child abuse, aggravated assault and threatening a public official, records show.

An arrest affidavit states Dresser swerved her car toward a group of children who were playing in the street. The children's mother told investigators that Dresser made a comment referring to it as target practice.

"It definitely concerns me," Jenae Smith said.

Smith, a mother of three, lives just down the block from where this happened. Her kids often rollerblade in the neighborhood.

"To know that a woman is stopping and saying those types of things, especially to — not my children, but possibly my children — is definitely a concern and needs to be addressed," she said.

The report said Dresser admitted to making the target practice comment but quickly tried to minimize it to officers by saying it was a joke.

She also said she had made a wide turn and denied swerving toward the children, according to the report.

Police said that while they were on scene trying to get both sides of the story, Dresser threatened officers.

The mother of the victims told police she yelled at Dresser when she swerved. She said the suspect gave her the middle finger and yelled a racial slur.

Dresser is being held at the Brevard County Jail without bond.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. 

In Florida, this suspect could face 15 years in the iron college for this.
