Woman drives off with partner's arm in her car window
A 35-year-old Chatham woman has been arrested and charged after she allegedly rolled up her car window on her partner's arm and then drove off.
Chatham-Kent police said the woman was driving her partner home Monday afternoon when they started arguing in the car.
Police said the vehicle was stopped at an intersection, the victim got out of the car, grabbed her belongings and started walking away, but she turned around when she realized her keys were still in the vehicle.
Investigators said when the woman reached into the vehicle to grab her keys, the driver rolled up the window on her arm and then drove through the intersection.
Police said the vehicle went about 30 feet before the victim's arm came free -- she fell onto the road and suffered what are described as non-life threatening injuries.
The driver was later arrested and charged with dangerous driving causing bodily harm. She was then released with a future court date.
