Alton, Va. – A Halifax County woman is behind bars, charged with murder after investigators say she intentionally ran over a man found lying in the yard of a home.

Sheriff’s deputies and Virginia State Police were dispatched just after 6:30 Sunday morning after receiving a report of an unconscious male.

The South Boston News and Record reports that officers found the victim in the yard of a home on Traynam Grove Road in Alton, Va. Investigators determined that the man had been intentionally struck by a vehicle and charged 33-year-old Chantel Annette Canada of Clover with second-degree murder.

Sheriff’s investigators arrested Canada on Monday and charged her with the homicide. Canada is being held in Blue Ridge Regional Jail in Halifax without bond.

Meanwhile, a 24-year-old Danville woman faces two felony charges of assault and battery of a police officer in Halifax County. Sacha Lynn Baynes is also charged of felonious assault with intent to maim and a misdemeanor charge each of destruction of property and obstruction of justice/resisting arrest, according to Halifax County Sheriff’s Office.

Baynes, of Charles Street in Danville, was charged on Monday, the same day the assault is alleged to have happened. Warrants were served May 17.
