A recent violent encounter on the 1800 block of Noe-Bixby Road, where a dispute escalated to the point of vehicular assault, has resulted in multiple charges against Alexander Oglesby. After an argument, witnesses stated that tire tracks corroborated that Oglesby used his car in an attempt to strike three individuals standing roughly 40 yards away on the grass outside their home.
