Guntersville lawyer Laura Givens is facing multiple charges, including felony criminal mischief, for allegedly ramming a vehicle multiple times in the Publix parking lot.
The incident took place on September 27 in a Publix parking lot. According to Guntersville Police, Givens rammed her pick-up truck into a white Jeep following a verbal altercation with the driver.
A video of the incident taken by a bystander and shared anonymously with 1819 News, shows the truck, with tires smoking, back up and ram the Jeep several times.
"While en route, officers were advised that the subject was ramming their vehicle into the other party’s vehicle," Guntersville Police chief Ryan Darnell told The Advertiser Gleam. "...Subject fled the area before officers’ arrival. Officers were given a description of the vehicle. The vehicle was stopped and driver was identified as a Laura Givens. Mrs. Givens was charged with felony criminal mischief, reckless endangerment and DUI.”
Givens was placed in the Marshall County Jail on a $100,000 bond.
The Gleam reported that Givens is now on disability inactive status with the state bar following the incident, which wasn't her first run-in with the law. She was reportedly charged with public intoxication and causing a disturbance in Florida last August.
