Run over by car

YOUNGSTOWN

A night of drinking and playing cards ended with a man run over by a car Monday night.

Cheree Moore, 38, of Weston Avenue and a man arrived to play cards at a West Boston Avenue home. When the man began fighting, the pair refused to leave, witnesses told police.

Moore and the man eventually got into a car and she drove forward and backward in an apparent attempt to hit the people fighting with her and the man, witnesses said.
