Woman Assaulted Man With Camaro: Wallingford Police

WALLINGFORD, CT — A woman is accused of assaulting a man with a motor vehicle earlier this month in Wallingford, according to police.

Alexis Marie Rivera, 24, of Wallingford, was arrested Thursday in connection with a domestic incident that happened Oct. 8, according to Officer Alex Torres.

Torres said police were initially informed that a man fell in the rear parking lot of a local bar and was bleeding from his head.

The victim was immediately taken to a local hospital for further evaluation due to his “visible injuries,” according to Torres. He was then taken to another hospital to receive more advanced care, Torres said.

After the medical assessment, Torres said the Wallingford Detective Unit was informed that the victim sustained multiple serious injuries and was in the intensive care unit.

“The Wallingford Detective Unit conducted the investigation and viewed footage that captured Rivera operating a black Chevrolet Camaro,” Torres wrote in a news release. “Rivera was driving with the victim on the hood of the Camaro at a high rate of speed. While the Camaro was in motion, the victim fell off the hood and hits the pavement where he lays motionless. Rivera momentarily glanced down at the victim, then fled the scene.”

Rivera was charged with first-degree assault, first-degree reckless endangerment, and reckless driving. She was held in lieu of a $250,000 bond and was due in court on Thursday.
