POLK COUNTY, Fla. (WWSB) - A woman was arrested Monday afternoon
following a domestic disturbance in Orlando, in which she
intentionally drove over a man who was holding an infant, injuring
them both.
27-year old, Aaliyah Ross, is being held in the Orange County Jail
after detectives from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office authorized an
arrest warrant for Ross. She is being charged with aggravated child
abuse, aggravated battery-domestic, negligent child abuse,
battery-domestic, and leaving the scene of a crash with property
damage.

The 25-year old male victim was treated and released from the
hospital, but suffers bruising to his body and lungs. The 16-month old
infant boy remains hospitalized with a broken left shoulder collar
bone, multiple broken ribs, a partially collapsed lung, and abrasions
and bruising on his body.
An argument escalated between Ross and the man, so she placed two
other small children (4 years old and 6 months old) into her car, and
got into the driver’s seat of a Toyota Corolla. The man picked up the
infant and began to run away as Ross accelerated directly at the two
victims, and ran them over before she crashed the vehicle into a
trailer.
At around 12:22 p.m., Ross returned to the now unoccupied residence
and put the infant inside, leaving him alone while she left again.
Following her arrest, Ross told a detective that there have been
several times in the past that she has acted as if she was going to
run over the man, but would swerve at last second to avoid hitting
him. She said she assumed that because of that, he would have moved
out of the way in this instance, but he did not.
“Aaliyah Ross made a series of incredibly unthinkable choices Monday:
running over a man and a baby with a car, leaving the baby alone, and
failing to get medical treatment for the obviously injured baby.
Someone who does this to a baby will do this to anyone—her
uncontrollable rage is a threat to the public.,” Sheriff Grady Judd
said in a statement.
The other two children were located and the Florida Department of
Children and Families is currently evaluating their plan of custody.
Ross will be transferred from the Orange County Jail to the Polk
County Jail.
The investigation is ongoing.
