An American Woman in Opelousas is being looked for by police after she hit and run her ex-boyfriend upon seeing him with another woman.

She committed the offence on Saturday and as of Monday night, she had not been found.

According to Police Chief Martin McClendon,the incident happened around 1 a.m. when the victim and her male companion were returning home from an evening out.

McClendon said a short while later the victim was struck by a vehicle allegedly being driven by the man’s ex-girlfriend, 28-year-old Lakeshia Rideau of Opelousas, who then drove away.

The victim was transported to a local hospital by private vehicle where it was determined that she has fractures of both the tibia and fibula and has a large scar on her right leg caused by a vehicle tire.

McClendon said he checked on the victim earlier and that she will recover, but may never walk the same again.

Rideau is wanted on charges of attempted second degree murder.
