Woman charged after driving into people outside baby shower in Waldorf, authorities say
CHARLES COUNTY, Md. () — A Charles County woman is facing several charges after she allegedly drove into multiple people and cars outside of a baby shower in Waldorf last week.
Robin Lessette Alexander, 53, of Indian Head, was charged with eight counts of aggravated assault and two counts of destruction of property.
Authorities said Alexander was attending the baby shower on June 1 in the 1300 block of Smallwood Drive West when she began arguing with another woman who was at the event.
The argument continued to the parking lot, where Alexander got into her car and intentionally drove toward the woman and two other people, hitting the woman and another person, according to the Charles County Sheriff's Office.
After this, she pushed on the gas and drove directly into another parked car, which had someone sitting inside it, CCSO noted. However, the passenger was not injured.

Alexander then circled the parking lot and rammed into the woman's car, according to authorities. Several people tried to stop her and eventually halted her car by slashing its tires.
Responders took one person to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries while medics treated two other people at the scene.
Officers arrested Alexander and took her to the hospital for treatment. The next day, on June 2, a judge released her from the Charles County Detention Center on electronic monitoring.
The investigation is ongoing.
