Nelson then tried to trade in her leased 2020 Honda Passport for a different model to throw cops off her trail, prosecutors say.
“This defendant — an adult — allegedly thought she could take the law into her own hands to kill a 15-year-old in the process,” Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond Tierney said in a statement Monday, as Nelson was indicted in the crime.
According to prosecutors, an enraged Nelson had driven her car into the parking lot of a Dunkin’ Donuts across the street from William Floyd High School in Mastic Beach on Oct. 7 and confronted a group of teenagers while wielding a knife and a small bat. The boy suffered multiple fractures to his pelvis, six fractured ribs, a punctured lung and “numerous bruises and abrasions,” the DA’s office said in a release.
“After fending off her son’s attackers, she drove to both the junior high school as well as the senior high school to report the incident and also try to retrieve her son’s sneakers.”“A group of males were running through the streets, and one of the young men received injuries after striking Ms. Nelson’s car,” he said. “Ms. Nelson did not see nor recognize the young man who was injured.”
