ROCHESTER - A 39-year-old Rochester woman has been arrested for deliberately driving her vehicle at a pair of youngster walking home from school, police said on Tuesday.
The incident unfolded Friday around 3:15 p.m. when officers were dispatched to a disturbance on Pickering Road.
"They were told a female, later determined to be Ann Frias, of 101 Pickering Road, drove her vehicle at a high rate of speed toward two juveniles in the area while they were on the sidewalk walking home from school," Rochester Police Capt. Todd Pinkham said on Wednesday.
The Officers were told Frias yelled something out her window, flipped her middle finger and swerved off the roadway, almost hitting the juveniles.
Officers then looked at the area and noticed tire marks in the slush/snow that corroborated what they had been told, Pinkham noted.
When told she was being placed under arrest, police say Frias threw a thermos type bottle at the Officer, but did not strike him, and also resisted by pulling away from him while be taking into custody.
She was eventually taken into custody and charged with two felony counts of criminal threatening with a deadly weapon, two counts of felony reckless conduct with a deadly weapon; and single counts of simple assault and resisting arrest, both misdemeanors.
