FORT WORTH - <b>A woman who hit a man with her car - and left him to die in her garage, trapped in the windshield - was charged with murder this week, police said. </b>
Chante Mallard, 25, of Fort Worth was released form the Tarrant County Jail after posting $10,000 bond.
<b>Police said she had been drinking and using the drug ecstasy one night in October when her car struck Gregory Glenn Biggs, 37, near the Loop 820 split with U.S. Highway 287.
"Evidently, he became lodged in the window," said Lt. Jesse Hernandez. "She panicked, drove home and parked in the garage." </b>
Ms. Mallard then offered gruesome details of what happened next. <b>"According to her statement, he was still alive. And she parked there and went inside, came back out and kind of apologized to him," Lt. Hernandez said. "He moaned or still had signs of life, but she just left him there and eventually he died." </b>
Last month, investigators said, <b>Ms. Mallard told people at a party about the collision, and about dumping Mr. Biggs' body, after he died, in Cobb Park south of downtown. </b>
The October drive to her home in the 3800 block of Wilbarger Street was about four miles. <b>Ms. Mallard had planned to burn the car to destroy the evidence, police said.</b>
"There was considerable physical evidence there," Lt. Jesse Hernandez said. <b>"They found her car, blood, hair, other trace evidence. The car seats had been removed and were found in the back yard. One of the seats had been burned."
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner said Mr. Biggs is believed to have died two or three days after the collision - from blood loss, not directly from the injuries sustained in the crash.</b>
<b>"At any point in time, she could have called 911 and told someone this had happened, and she would have been in a lot less trouble than she's in now,"</b> Sgt. Jon Fahrenthold said.
"If this isn't the worst case I've ever seen, it's right up there."
Police said they believe <b>other people knew Ms. Mallard had left the man to die at her home. </b>They now hope to question those people.
Latresa Ward, who has known Ms. Mallard since high school, said she was shocked to learn of the charge against her friend. "This is just not something that I would think Chante would do," Ms. Ward said. "She's not like that. She's very caring, she's outgoing, she's real smart, and I was just surprised."
Narkeshia Holloway also went to school with Ms. Mallard. She speculated that her friend was probably scared. "To her family and to the victim's family, we all need to stay prayerful," Ms. Holloway said. "Chante, I love you, I am praying for you."
These are your neighbors, people.
I do like how she went out to apologize to the guy and then left him there.
I also like how she planned to burn the car. Not even considering the much DARKER implication of guilt when one puts that much thought into this, but doing this apparently would take attention away from the car?
