TAMPA, Fla. \u2014 The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) said a man was charged with attempted murder after he struck his girlfriend with his vehicle.<\/p>\n

HCSO said deputies responded to East 138th Avenue on June 12 after a woman was struck by a car and transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. <\/p>\n

According to the report, detectives learned that 28-year-old Levi Stevenson and the victim had gotten into an altercation, and when his girlfriend tried to call for help, Stevenson forcefully took her phone.<\/p>\n

HCSO said the victim was walking alongside East 138th Avenue when Stevenson veered off the roadway, struck her with his vehicle and fled the area. <\/p>\n

Stevenson was arrested on June 15 and charged with attempted murder in the second degree and robbery by sudden snatching. <\/p>\n

“A moment of anger should never cost someone their life. This victim showed incredible courage by walking away from a dangerous situation, only to be met with unthinkable violence,” said Sheriff Chad Chronister.<\/p>\n

The investigation remains active.<\/p>\n
