Police seek woman in hit-and-run
Butler police are searching for a woman who is accused of intentionally hitting another woman with a vehicle Friday morning.
Tashina C. Booher, 33, of Brady Township is wanted on a felony arrest warrant issued by District Judge William Fullerton.
Police allege Booher about 7:50 a.m. deliberately drove an Acura sport utility vehicle into Brandy Lane after the two women got into an argument in the area of West New Castle and Mercer streets.
Lane, 30, whose address is not known, suffered an unspecified leg injury. She was reportedly taken to a Pittsburgh hospital for treatment.
Police were initially called for what was believed to be a pedestrian accident involving a vehicle near Tani's Pizza on Mercer Street. Lane was in “an extreme amount of pain” when officers got there, Patrolman Kevin Novak said in his affidavit.
A full report will appear in Monday's Butler Eagle.
