Police looking for man who allegedly rammed girlfriend’s car, shot passenger
TEXARKANA, Texas — Police here are looking for a man accused of aggravated assault and deadly conduct after he allegedly rammed his girlfriend’s car several times and shot a man at about 5 p.m. Friday afternoon.
According to an account by Texarkana Texas Police Department officials posted on Facebook, Princeston Crawford allegedly became upset when he found out that his girlfriend was giving rides home to her co-workers — and apparently was really upset when he found out the particular co-worker she was giving a ride to.
He went looking for her, and after he found her, starting ramming her car with his. He wound up chasing her for several minutes before losing her. He knew where the victim lives, however, so he drove there and waited nearby for them to show up, according to police accounts.
When they did, he blocked Nichols Drive with his car so they couldn’t get through and then he allegedly got out with a gun. The girlfriend bailed out of her car when she saw Crawford, but the victim slid across to the driver’s seat and tried to drive away.
Crawford fired several shots into the car — one of which struck the victim in the arm, according to TTPD accounts. The victim abandoned the car in the middle of Kennedy Lane after he realized he’d been shot and ran home. A relative took him to an urgent care center for treatment.
Crawford had fled the scene by the time police arrived. But, according to police, he left the weapon behind.
Detectives obtained warrants for the two charges Friday night and are searching for Crawford.
