The 24-year-old, identified by Athens police as Shanita Maryann Smith, allegedly stormed out of her Summerbrook Circle apartment just after 12:30 a.m. last Thursday when she saw two employees from Winder-based C&O Recovery attempt to take her vehicle.

Wearing only a towel, Smith allegedly jumped into the car, threw it in reverse and stepped on the gas, dragging the repo woman a short distance before running over her legs and her right arm, according to an Athens police report.
