ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. — Rocky Mount police have charged a man with attempted murder and felony hit-and-run in an accident involving one of its officers.

Police said Aaron Sutton Jr., 20, ran over Cpl. Sandy Rose after a fender bender Monday morning.

In the process he struck Rose, flipping her over the hood and running over her legs.

Rose is recovering at home with bruises.

Sutton is being held on $51,000 bond.
