FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. \u2014 A 23-year-old man was at the Broward County Main Jail without bond on Friday in Fort Lauderdale after prosecutors accused him of turning a car into a weapon to hurt drivers after two separate crashes, records show. <\/p>\n

Dylan Rogers was driving the same black 2014 Nissan Sentra when he was involved in the crashes and drove towards the victims on Feb. 28 in Margate and on Aug. 30 in Coral Springs, according to the arrest reports by police officers from the Margate and Coral Springs police departments. <\/p>\n

On Feb. 28, Rogers crashed at North State Road Seven and West Sample Road<\/a>, and after the victim got out of her car, he \u201cintentionally accelerated … striking\u201d her with the front bumper, according to the arrest report.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe then rolled onto the front hood … rolled off the hood,\u201d Rogers\u2019s front passenger tire ran over her foot, and she \u201cfell to the ground and rolled out of the roadway,\u201d according to the police officer\u2019s report. <\/p>\n

The victim, who was hospitalized, said, \u201cshe was in fear for her life,\u201d according to police. <\/p>\n

Police officers arrested Rogers on Feb. 28. Court records show he was released on an $8,500 bond on March 3, his arraignment was on June 4, and the case was pending when he crashed again. <\/p>\n

On Aug. 30, Rogers was driving in the parking lot of the Costco where he worked at 4621 Coral Ridge Drive, and the victim was in a Honda Accord waiting for a driver who was leaving a designated handicap parking space, according to the police officer\u2019s arrest report. <\/p>\n

The victim \u201cbelieves\u201d Rogers intended \u201cto kill him, and if he did not move in time, he would have been severely hurt,\u201d a police officer wrote, adding the victim was injured, according to the police officer\u2019s arrest report. <\/p>\n

Surveillance video shows Rogers was behind the victim for about two minutes, got out, approached the victim\u2019s car, walked back to his car, got back in, reversed, and accelerated, according to a police officer\u2019s report. <\/p>\n

Witnesses said Rogers shouted racial slurs at the driver of the Honda Accord, according to police. The video shows the victim got out of the Honda, stood by the driver\u2019s side door, and Roger collided with the door before he drove away, according to the police report. <\/p>\n

A police officer arrested Rogers shortly before 7:40 p.m. on Aug. 31 at the Costco, according to the arrest report. A judge set his bond at $60,000 and ordered house arrest with a GPS monitor. <\/p>\n

Broward County prosecutors filed the new case against Rogers on Sept. 2 and filed a motion on Sept. 29<\/a> asking a judge to revoke Rogers\u2019s bond on the Feb. 28 case since the Aug. 30 incident was a violation of his pre-trial release, records show. <\/p>\n

On Thursday, after his arraignment on the two counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon for the Aug. 30 case, Broward Sheriff\u2019s Office deputies arrested him at the courthouse for the charges of aggravated battery and leaving the scene of a crash with personal injuries for the Feb. 28.<\/p>\n

Broward County Circuit Judge Thomas J. Coleman was presiding over both cases against Rogers, who was born in Fort Lauderdale and lived in Pompano Beach.<\/p>\n
