LIVINGSTONDAILY.COM: Northfield Township woman jailed after driving to court hearing on suspended license

Rebecca Lee Ball, 26, pleaded no contest to two counts of felonious assault for a July 4 incident on East Shore Drive near McNally Road in Green Oak Township, near Whitmore Lake. The newspaper reports she revved her engine and drove toward an officer who responded to an assault call, narrowly missing the officer but striking another in his upper right thigh.

She faces sentencing Feb. 28.
