The woman who ran over a former TBI agent as he was crossing the road in front of his home and then fled the scene has been indicted on multiple charges.The woman, Carolyn L. Tittsworth, 44, was arrested Wednesday evening on indictments charging her with filing a false report, second-offense driving on a revoked license, failure to stop at a wreck with injury, failure to give notice of an accident, and violating the duty to stop at an accident. The false report is a felony charge.She was indicted for hitting Preston Huckeby, 77, as he was crossing the road in an ATV on the morning of Dec. 12.“He had just mailed a Christmas card and was crossing back Old Rock Island Road when he crossed in her path,” said Highway Patrolman Rodney Whiles who investigated the wreck. “The impact ejected him from the Gator, leaving him lying on the road.”Investigators believe Tittsworth panicked, knowing she would go to jail for driving on a revoked license.
