TWIN FALLS, Idaho (AP) -- A south-central Idaho woman accused of running over her former boyfriend with her car and breaking his leg has been charged with two felonies.

The Times-News reports that 18-year-old Mariah Cheyenne Pinkney of Jerome was charged Friday in 5th District Court with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and leaving the scene of an injury accident.

Prosecutors say that besides several witnesses, Pinkney also posted about running over her former boyfriend in Facebook messages sent to a friend.

Police say they found the 17-year-old male while responding to an injury accident report at about 1 A.M. Thursday. Police say the teen told authorities that Pinkney ran him over.
