SALINA — A Saline County woman was arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault Wednesday evening after she allegedly tried to hit a male family member with her vehicle.

Saline County Undersheriff Brent Melander said Friday that deputies were called to the 5100 block of Thompson Road in northwest Saline County at approximately 11:20 a.m. Wednesday after an ongoing verbal dispute between Laura Derowitsch, 40, and a 43-year-old Saline County man turned potentially more dangerous.

Melander said that Derowitsch is accused of trying to strike the man with her Chrysler Town and Country minivan. He said Derowitsch missed the man and then drove away.

Deputies were later able to reach Derowitsch by phone and she agreed to go to the sheriff’s office, Melander said. She was interviewed and arrested at approximately 8 p.m. Wednesday, he said.
