Woman headed for trial in 2017 assault by vehicle case that injured friend
More than two years after Butler police charged her with intentionally hitting — and injuring — a friend with her sport utility vehicle, Tashina C. Booher finally had her preliminary hearing Monday.
Booher, 35 of Brady Township drove away after the alleged assault Nov. 3, 2017, police said. That same day, police got a felony arrest warrant for her.
But the warrant would go unserved until her capture earlier this month in Cleveland, authorities said. Butler County sheriff's deputies traveled to Ohio and returned with her Dec. 6.
She is in the Butler County Prison on $25,000 bond, charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated assault by vehicle and causing an accident involving injury, all felonies. She also is charged with reckless endangerment, a misdemeanor.
At the hearing, District Judge William Fullerton ordered Booher to stand trial on all charges.
