A wild woman in Washington decided that attacking a man with a machete wasn’t enough. So she hit the man with an SUV. But one mistake made her Ford Expedition extremely easy for police officers to find. 

Washington woman attacks man with machete and SUV 

36-year-old Shanale T. Bennett-Wyatt tried to get away after a violent incident at Peanuts Park in Pasco, Washington, after attacking a man. 

However, she had a giant teddy bear on the roof of her Ford Expedition, which made it easy to find. Allegedly, she never meant to hit a man with her SUV. However, witnesses at the scene shared a different story. 

Witnesses shared that she aggressively pulled into a parking spot by the park. A man was yelling at her, saying, “This is my turf!” Then she jumped out of the Ford Expedition with a machete, swinging at the men. 

According to Tri-City Herald, pedestrians jumped in to separate the two and took the machete away. Police officers shared that Bennett-Wyatt got in the SUV, ran over the curb, and hit the man with her SUV. 

He fell, and she put her ride in reverse to hit him a second time, but missed. She fled the scene. Officers found the Expedition at the park the next day and apprehended Bennett-Wyatt. 

She is charged with first-degree assault and vehicular assault. Allegedly, she acted in self-defense as the man previously assaulted her. 

Police officers found the man she struck with a cast on his leg. Unfortunately, he refused to talk to them about the incident.
