Waco, Texas (AP) -- An 84-year-old woman accused of trying to run over a neighbor amid a land dispute has been arrested. Ester McCullough of Downsville, near Waco, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a second-degree felony punishable by two to 20 years in prison and fines of up to $10,000.
Later Monday, she was released from the McLennan County Jail on a personal recognizance bond, a jail spokeswoman said. McCullough could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
In May, she drove into her neighbor's yard, knocking over part of a brick wall, then drove into the garage and knocked a 3-foot hole in a wall, said McLennan County Chief Deputy Randy Plemons.
. . . In a separate 2005 incident, she was found guilty of felony attempted assault of a peace officer after she hit an officer in the head with her cane and threatened to shoot him, according to court records.
Deputies had responded to a neighbor's complaint that McCullough shot at her over an argument about the woman's dogs.
McCullough was placed on felony probation for three years and fined $400 in that incident.
