WINK Neighborhood Watch reports the latest local crimes in your area for the week. Tarajayne Samuels-Catalan (CREDIT: Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office) A mother was arrested after she attempted to hit a staff member of Port Charlotte High School with her vehicle. According to the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office, Tarajayne Samuels-Catalan dropped her child off at school and then tried to exit the parking lot the wrong way. A staff member stopped Samuels-Catalan and said she could not exit that way because buses were coming in to drop off students. Samuels-Catalan later turned her vehicle in the direction of the staff member and hit the gas, according to deputies. She revved the engine and sped toward him. The staff member was forced to dive into some bushes to evade the oncoming vehicle and reported the incident afterward. Samuels-Catalan was placed under arrest and charged with aggravated assault on a public or private education employee. She is currently being held at the Charlotte County Jail without bond.
