Police have arrested and charged a woman with stalking her ex-boyfriend and running his mother over with her car.
Elizabeth McClain, 22, was charged with the third degree felony of stalking.
According to her arrest warrant from the Austin Police Department, Ryan
Boyd, 25, and McClain dated for about three years before ending things
in September of this year. Boyd told police that McClain began to harass
him after the breakup, and he told her to leave him alone.
Boyd filed a police report on Sept. 17 after McClain began to call him
about 20 to 100 times a day and threatened to make his life miserable.
On Oct. 11 Boyd filed a second report, claiming McClain was calling
him from different numbers after attempts to block her from contacting
him. McClain told Boyd she was going to break into his house and drive
her car through his living room to get his attention.
Boyd told police that one day McClain called him more than 750 times.
She also changed her number and continued to call him. Boyd told police
that she got his new work number and called and sent blank text
messages to it every day from 6 a.m. to 1 a.m.
Boyd filed a third police report on Nov. 11 after McClain text
messaged him 126 times in a row. He also claims she drove by his house
on several occasions. He told police that McClain told him that
something “bad” was going to happen to him and his family. She also
threatened to drive into his living room. She questioned where Boyd had
been when he got home, as if she had been watching him. Boyd called
police, but McClain was nowhere to be found when they arrived.
Around Nov. 15 Boyd told police that McClain sent him a text message
while he was driving, asking about his car. He pulled over and check his
gas tank, which had been filled with sugar. This cost Boyd $300 to fix.
The arrest warrant states that McClain continued to harass and call
Boyd every day up until Nov. 26. On that day Boyd says he received a
message from McClain asking whose broken down car was in front of his
house. It belonged to his mother Lori’s boyfriend. McClain threatened to
mess with the car, so Boyd asked his mother to call police.
While Lori was outside waiting for an officer, McClain drove into the
driveway. Lori told McClain to leave and walked behind the car to look
at the license plate number. That’s when police say McClain put the car
in reverse, running over Lori and dragging her.
McClain drove away from the scene. Lori suffered a fractured
clavicle, broken wrist, broken ankle, four or five broken ribs and other
injuries. She is currently in the ICU at a local hospital.
McClain’s bond was set at $15,000. She was ordered to stay 200 yards
away from Boyd, and must now wear a GPS monitor under a curfew.
There is no word yet on what other charges may be filed.
