The officer noticed a large crowd yelling at a female, sitting in a Jeep Wrangler, in the parking lot of Wofford Street. The woman was identified as Keritha Tucker.

“Paper” was later identified as Patrick Landrum.

Several vehicles were involved in the collision. A witness notified officers that Tucker had attempted to run over Landrum and before had struck his vehicle and chased him while driving on the grass, where she struck a moped along the staircase of the building.

Tucker then turned the vehicle around, striking the Duke Energy power box and hit Landrum. She then hit a parked vehicle with three individuals inside.
