OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A 32-year-old man who police say twice struck his mother with an SUV in an attempt to evade an officer has been convicted in a related case.
Anthony Flud is scheduled to be sentenced June 15 after being convicted in Douglas County District Court on charges of theft and operating a motor vehicle to avoid arrest.
Authorities say he’d been sought on arrest warrants after being charged in late December with the crimes. A Bellevue officer has said that while speaking to Flud’s mother in a driveway in February, Flud drove the SUV that hit his mother. The officer said Flud struck his mother a second time and the officer’s patrol car before driving away.
Flud is charged in Sarpy County with assault, evading arrest and failure to render aid.
