(CBS News) A woman was arrested for assault after allegedly using her car as a battering ram on two people after she got in an altercation over a parking spot, authorities said.

CBS station WJZ-TV in Baltimore reported that police say Brandy Ames, 35, of Harford County was trying to park her Oldsmobile at the Avenue Shopping Center in White Marsh on Friday night when she got into an argument with a Volkswagen driver over a parking spot. The fight escalated, and Ames got out of her car and punched a passenger riding in the Volkswagen, who had also gotten out of the car. Ames then returned to her vehicle and proceeded to hit and pin the 24-year-old Volkswagen passenger against a third car.

Ames then used her car to hit a second person who had witnessed the attack. The second victim was attempting to write down Ames' license plate number.

The 24-year-old was taken to a local hospital for non-life threatening injuries while the second victim refused treatment.

Ames was later arrested at her Hartford County home, according to WBAL. Thanks to the witness who wrote down Ames' license plate number, police were able to track the suspect down, WJZ-TV said.

She was charged with multiple counts of assault and traffic violations and is currently being held on $1 million bail.

Somebody rams you with a car in some states and it's the last act they are alive to do.

[Godsmack4]

One Million bail? Are you kidding me? She obviously didnt want to kill anyone or they would be dead. Some cold blooded murderers dont get one MILLION bail. ***?

Better to lower the bail and let this woman loose on the public. Don't you see problems with her behavior. Certainly, normal people don't use their cars as weapons and then drive home.

This story is probably the headline on Fox News.

marcie10000 - Why not? It has been on the news on practically every channel all day long. Why should FOX be any different? By the way, your remark is stupid.

Was probably picking up glazed doughnuts, Applle pie,deep fried onion rings,precooked spicy hot ribs and a tub of
Chocolate marshmallow ice-cream
It's easy to see in her euphoria and excitement and anticipation of a biiiiiggggg Pigout she just lost it
A feeding frenzy can do that!

[Big-Daddy-Kahuna]

Another loose canon with flawed judgement. The world is full of them.

it seems that the blacks are getting a lot more aggresive lately...they have to pass whites on the highways even if they break the law...laid back in their cars and run about 20mph faster than anyone else..wonder what they will be like when "obama the hut" loses..I think we need a death sentence here...no more welfare for this one..

No give it to Chuckie, he'll eat anything.

[Meezermom1951]

One does wonder why it is automatically HER parking space! Does it have her name on it? Maybe the make and model of her car along with the license plate number? Everyone gets screwed out of a parking space at one time or another. It is better to be the bigger person and drive around and find another spot and leave a note on the other car...which is why you should have them printed up....Of course it never hurts if they are printed on some sticky paper and stuck over the driver's side window!! But until you have your own private parking space, grow up!

[djseavy]

It doesn't matter what color someone is - this is what much of our society has come to. "Me me me." I'm sure there will be excuses up the wazoo for her behavior, but there is no excuse for this. The only thing I'm surprised by is that it hasn't happened before now.

Rage crosses racial and political boundaries. I've seen all kinds of people get into arguments over things like this, but most don't resort to violence. This woman should be glad she didn't kill one of the victims.
