A Mahoning County grand jury handed up indictments against a 41-year-old Youngstown woman accused of trying to run over two officers and a 25-year-old woman with her car.

Charlotte Moreland, of Elbertus Avenue, is facing three counts of felonious assault and one count of vandalism after police say she purposely crashed her car Sunday on West Prince-ton Avenue into a vehicle owned by a 25-year-old woman, who was talking with two officers about a theft.
