HOPE MILLS, N.C. — Cumberland County authorities arrested a Raleigh woman Saturday for allegedly running over a friend with her car after the two argued.

Sheriff’s detectives charged Dianna Dandrea Richardson, 49, of 4526 North New Hope Road, with attempted first degree murder and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury.
