Man charges girlfriend's car, smashes her window

A woman claims her boyfriend nearly killed her when he charged at her and smashed her car after she told him she was leaving.

"He was coming toward my car in his car head on," the girlfriend wrote on the witness report. "I stopped and he got out and was coming to mine with this angry look on his face."

She got back in her car, put it in reverse, drove on someone's front lawn and fled with her boyfriend in hot pursuit. He sped after her for several blocks until she got out at her mother's home, she wrote. He got out again, this time with a gun in his hand, and used it to smash her driver's side window, according to the affidavit.

Christopher Tippins, 27, of Montgomery, was arrested by the Montgomery Police Department on Monday in connection to the incident and faces a reckless endangerment domestic violence charge. He is currently being held at the Montgomery County Detention Facility under a $1,000 bond.

The girlfriend said she told Tippins that she was leaving earlier that morning at around 8:40 a.m. on Sunday at a Montgomery apartment complex.

They had been going out for eight months.
