Man allegedly tried to run over woman who refused sex, her children

BATON ROUGE, La. -- A man accused of trying to drive over a woman and her three children after the woman refused to sleep with him has been arrested in Louisiana. CBS affiliate WAFB-TV reports the woman was the suspect's girlfriend.

The Advocate reports an arrest report states the woman told police that she turned down 61-year-old Benjamin Blount before the two got into argument around 1 a.m. Sunday at an apartment in Baton Rouge. The police report says Blount held the woman down by her throat in the kitchen before the woman's 9-year-old daughter jumped on his back.

The woman and her children left the apartment. Blount later found them in a restaurant parking lot and drove his pickup truck toward them on two occasions, according to the police report.

Blount is being held at the Parish Prison on attempted first-degree murder, second-degree kidnapping and battery of a dating partner.
