A Warrenville woman has been arrested and charged with attempted murder after allegedly attempting to hit another person with a car on Aiken's Northside. 

Aiken Department of Public Safety officers arrested Tametria Lashirley Davis, 24, on Monday morning. 

Davis drove into the parkway in the 500 block of Barnwell Avenue N.E. and "barely missed" a woman walking in the parkway, two women told Officer Burton. 

Davis struck the rear bumper of an SUV and struck a nearby apartment building enough to make a scuff mark on the building, the women continued.

The women added that Davis called one of them and told her she "was going to die tonight."  

Officers located tire tracks consistent with the women's account of the events, Burton wrote in a report. 

Davis also got into a dispute with her father over the vehicle, Burton said.

Davis's father said she took the vehicle while he was sleeping and that he received a phone call that Davis was trying to hit someone with the car and had hit a building, Burton continued. 

An Aiken County magistrate denied bond, according to court records and detention center records

Attempted murder is a felony punishable by up to 30 years in prison, according to the South Carolina Code of Laws.
