A Joplin woman allegedly ran over another woman with her car then backed up and nearly hit her again before leaving the scene, according to a probable cause statement filed today in Jasper County Circuit Court.

The Jasper County Prosecuting Attorney's office charged Jennifer Kay Lloyd (DOB 1982) with first degree assault. A warrant was issued for Lloyd's arrest with bond set at $50,000 surety or $7,500 cash. A condition of the bond is that Lloyd have no contact with her alleged victim.

From the probable cause statement:

On November 29, 2024 Deputies were dispatched to a residence on Neon Lane around Malang Road and west 7th Street. inside Jasper County for a vehicle versus pedestrian assault. 

When deputies arrived, they spoke with V1 who told deputies the name of the suspect. She gave them the name Jennifer Lloyd as the Suspect. Witnesses told deputies that V1 and Jennifer had been heard arguing outside prior to the assault. 

During the argument Jennifer ran over V1 with a white 2016 KIA Sorento. Jennifer got out of the vehicle and walked towards V1 who was still lying on the ground and was now surrounded by other people. 

Jennifer then gets back into the vehicle and begins backing towards the victim. Jennifer appears to get within 10 yards or less of where the victim was lying. Jennifer then leaves the scene south bound and disappears from camera view. 

Witnesses gave the patrol deputies a plate of ZH4F3F as well as a picture of the vehicle while it was on scene. The vehicle is not registered to the suspect but multiple traffic stops have been conducted on that vehicle by various agencies with Jennifer Lloyd being the driver. 

The vehicle left the scene of the accident and was later located at Jennifer’s address. A search warrant was conducted on the vehicle and Jennifers mail was located inside the vehicle. A red dried substance that is suspected to be blood was located under the vehicle. 

V1 was interviewed at the hospital where information was limited due to her condition. V1 was interviewed later and she advised me that Jennifer Lloyd had hit her with her vehicle. 

The arugment was over a phone that Jennifer said V1 had stolen. The video footage of the assault was reviewed and you can hear one person yelling about a phone in the video. The video also shows the assault as it occurs with V1 being ran over by the 2016 white KIA Sorento. 

Jennifer inflicted serious physical injury on V1 while she ran her over with a vehicle. Jennifer also committed the offense of leaving the scene of an accident.
