A 22-year-old Hays woman allegedly rammed her vehicle into a man's car during a chase.

Hays Police Chief Don Scheibler said officers were dispatched about 12:10 p.m. on Feb. 20 to the 1300 block of Western Plains Drive. The investigation later determined the incident began as a domestic dispute between Ashton Caitlen Tabor and a Hays man with whom she had previously been in a relationship.

After allegedly throwing a brick at the man’s vehicle and causing damage, Tabor then pursued him and allegedly struck his vehicle with her own.

Scheibler said Ellis County deputies stopped Tabor’s vehicle, and she was taken into custody without incident.

Tabor was arrested on charges of alleged aggravated battery and criminal damage. Scheibler said the Ellis County Sheriff’s Office is investigating additional drug-related charges

The man Tabor was allegedly pursuing was later arrested on unrelated charges. No injuries were reported.
