After riding in the car with the driver for four blocks, McCullough apparently convinced Jamie to pull over near 13th Street and Grove Avenue. He then drove back without her to the scene of the assault, the sergeant said.
McCullough was later arrested on suspicion of drunken driving. The woman who was struck by his vehicle was taken to a hospital for evaluation, Blevins said, while Jamie remains at large.
