‘I was in a hurry.’ Cops say that was woman’s excuse after running over ex, his girlfriend.
When the father of her child refused to get in her car to go to the daycare for pickup, she revved the engine, cops say.
But it didn’t stop there.
Police say Melissa Nozile then put her car in drive and “intentionally ran into” her ex and his current girlfriend. Her ex’s ear was severed.
She told cops, according to a police report: “I was in a hurry. I saw them but I was in a hurry.”
Nozile, 28, was arrested and charged with two counts of attempted second-degree murder. She was being held Tuesday in Miami-Dade’s Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a $17,500 bond, records show.
According to Nozile’s arrest report, the male victim and his girlfriend were walking to Northwest 15th Avenue and 62nd Terrace — the usual pickup spot for their child — when Nozile drove by and told her ex to get in.
He was in the middle of an argument with his current girlfriend and told Nozile to go ahead to the daycare and he would meet her, an officer said in the report.
The man and woman then crossed the street in front of Nozile’s car “and she started to rev the engine of her vehicle while both victims were standing in front of the vehicle,” police said.
“Both victims began to yell for the defendant to please stop while waving their arms in the air, gesturing for the defendant to stop,” an officer wrote in the report. “The defendant then put her vehicle in drive and intentionally ran into victim #1 and victim #2, causing them to fall to the ground.”
Police say Nozile continued to drive over the victims leaving both with injuries. The man, according to police, had to have his ear reattached in addition to having other cuts and bruises. The woman also suffered cuts, bruises and road rash.
A witness saw what happened and shouted “I saw what you did! You’re not going anywhere,” according to police.
Nozile then got out of her car and waited for police.
