Gainesville woman arrested after trying to run over man, ramming deputy’s patrol car

Alachua County deputies arrested 25-year-old Michelle Bartholomew early Saturday after witnesses reported she attempted to strike a man with her vehicle at Tower Oaks Glen Apartments. When deputies arrived, she accelerated toward a marked sheriff’s vehicle and collided with it, then fled the scene with two young children in the car. Authorities later located her vehicle and noted the children had no car seats.
