A 23-year-old Douglas woman was arrested on suspicion of felony charges after police say she struck and killed her boyfriend while trying to drive off during a domestic dispute.
About 2 a.m. Sunday, Karen Molina called police saying she'd accidentally struck her boyfriend with her car, Douglas police said in a news release.
