LIVONIA, Mich. --
A driver was arrested on charges of angrily ramming into a sport utility vehicle that carried two pregnant women and pinning it against a wall. No one was hurt.
Earl Boyd also gestured at the women and almost forced their vehicle into oncoming traffic, police said Friday.
"Oh my God! He's pushing us!" one screamed on a 911 call as the emergency dispatcher tried to calm her.
Boyd, 50, was charged with two counts of felony assault with a motor vehicle and with drunken driving. He was freed on bond, and a court appearance was set for Tuesday.
His motive remained unclear, police said. "We couldn't comprehend what he was blabbering," police Lt. Greg Winn said.
Winn said that as Boyd tailed the women in his own SUV last Saturday, he began forcing them into other lanes, nearly pushing them into oncoming traffic.
The women, who were 7 1/2 months and 8 1/2 months pregnant, pulled into a parking lot in suburban Detroit. Boyd then rammed into the side of their SUV, pinning it against a wall, Winn said.
A video from a patrol car shows smoke from the spinning tires of Boyd's SUV as he allegedly continued ramming the women's vehicle as police arrived.
The 911 tape was aired on WLNS-TV in Lansing.
Boyd's home phone number could not be located, and an attorney had not yet been appointed, court officials said.

He was freed on bond, and a court appearance was set for Tuesday. That'll teach him, Judge.

An innocent SUV as victim? That's unusual.

Why was he freed on bond. His ass should be in jail and the charges should be attempted homicide X 2. Make that X 4.

His motive remained unclear, police said. "We couldn't comprehend what he was blabbering," police Lt. Greg Winn said.Oh yeah, he's a good candidate for release on bail bond.
Tried to kill two people? Hey, happens every day. Just a minor error in judgement.

I can't find a pic, but when I read this the trucker from Thelma & Louise came immediately to mind.

Sounds like he was just having a bad day. Before you go out and try to kill someone with your car, take a moment, stop and have a snack. Maybe a piece of birthday cake would have averted this whole situation.

The cops "couldn't understand what he was blabbering" after he (while intoxicated) repeatedly rammed an SUV carrying two pregnant women and he was released on bond?
Excuse me, is there something wrong with this picture?

He was freed on bond, and a court appearance was set for Tuesday.It will be a huge shock if he somehow doesn't manage to make the Tuesday appearance.

I wonder if the blabbering was in Arabic?No. In another report, an officer was quoted as saying that the attacker was blabbering "something about 'all of who's at bars' or some such."

I wonder if the blabbering was in Arabic? Yeah... All those Islamic converts take the traditional Muslim name of "Earl Boyd."

ROFL.
ah hahaha...
It's obvious that the SUV was the instigator. It was probably mocking him.
