Get old, get ornery

WACO, Texas - An 84-year-old woman accused of trying to run over a neighbor amid a land dispute has been arrested. Ester McCullough of Downsville, near Waco, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a second-degree felony punishable by two to 20 years in prison and fines of up to $10,000.

Later Monday, she was released from the McLennan County Jail on a personal recognizance bond, a jail spokeswoman said. McCullough could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
In May, she drove into her neighbor's yard, knocking over part of a brick wall, then drove into the garage and knocked a 3-foot hole in a wall, said McLennan County Chief Deputy Randy Plemons.
As McCullough reversed the car and headed for a vehicle in the yard, the neighbor ran toward her car trying to stop her, the arrest warrant affidavit stated. She then drove toward him, and he jumped on his car to keep from being hit.
The neighbor told police that McCullough believes part of the land under his home belongs to her, Plemons said.
