HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) — A man accused of running over and seriously injuring a Hillsborough County deputy is facing more charges.

The sheriff’s office said William Todd Lewis Jr., 24, is being charged with second-degree attempted murder of an officer and third-degree attempted murder of an officer.

On July 8, Lewis was arrested after investigators said he ran over Deputy Kalin Hall after fleeing a traffic stop.

Lewis was already facing several charges including aggravated battery on an officer, leaving the scene of a crash with bodily injury, and reckless driving with serious bodily injury.

HCSO also announced the arrest of a fourth suspect involved in the incident.

Stephanie Brown, 47, the mother of Lewis, was arrested Monday for her involvement in helping her son after he struck the deputy with his car, the sheriff’s office said. She is facing a charge for accessory after the fact.

The sister of Lewis, Briana Eileen Jeffries , 29, was arrested on July 16 and was charged with tampering with physical evidence and accessories after the fact.

During the crime, deputies said Lewis called his girlfriend, 23-year-old Keilise Garrison , and drove a mile away down the road, ditching the vehicle. She then called Lewis’ mother, who picked him up and drove him home. Garrison was charged with tampering with physical evidence and accessories after the fact.

Lewis was then picked up by a friend, identified as Zachary Carnegie, 24, in a rental car with their bags backed. As they drove into Pasco County, they pulled into a shopping center where deputies blocked them in and arrested them.
