ELKHART COUNTY, Ind. -- An 8-year-old suffered road rash after being dragged on the ground by a car for about 22 feet at a 7-Eleven on C.R. 17 in Elkhart on Tuesday.

The suspect, 28-year-old Shayna Jones, is charged with Criminal Recklessness Committed with a Deadly Weapon, a Level 6 Felony.

Jones' initial court hearing has yet to be scheduled.

Elkhart County court documents reveal a deputy with the Elkhart County Sheriff's Office responded to the 7-Eleven around 4:54 p.m., regarding a domestic battery.

Upon arrival, the caller on scene informed the deputy that Jones had dragged his son with her car and asked for medics to evaluate him.

Authorities say the victim appeared shaken and had abrasions and cuts consistent with road rash. Bystanders supplied the victim with ice packs to alleviate pain.

The caller stated he and his son were passengers in Jones' car when an argument began. The caller said he asked Jones to pull into the gas station so he could call an Uber.

The caller said they arrived and exited safely, but when his son began to exit the rear driver-side door, Jones accelerated, dragging the child for several feet. The victim told authorities Jones looked directly at him before driving forward.

The deputy on scene said the gas station's surveillance footage showed a silver Nissan Altima pull up, the caller exit, and about one second later, the victim exit.

When the victim was halfway out, the deputy said that's when Jones accelerated quickly, dragging the victim about 22 feet before he fell and struck the ground.

The deputy noted the victim's head came within six inches of the rear tire while the car was traveling at about 10 miles per hour.

Documents state Jones later returned to the scene in the same Nissan Altima. After being read her Miranda Rights, she told investigators she and the caller got into an argument after leaving Chili's.

Jones stated she pulled into the gas station, believing the caller would pump gas. She said she didn’t realize the victim had exited before pulling forward.

Jones told investigators that she left to pick up her children and called 911.
