Police Say Woman Turns Motorhome Into Murder Weapon

Portland, Oregon police have arrested and charged an Oregon woman with murder in an incident where a man was mowed over with a motorhome. The owner of the 25' Itasca was the victim.

Darlene Harding told police she was fearful for her life when she jumped behind the wheel of her estranged boyfriend's motorhome. She claims she thought the victim, Kenneth Rowley, had jumped out of the way of the big rig, but evidently he hadn't--Rowley tumbled underneath the rig and was dragged about 30 feet.

Police say the incident is just the tail end of a long line of domestic violence problems between the two. More details are available in the Oregonian.
