SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Surprise police officers arrested a Glendale mother after she allegedly hit her 17-year-old daughter with her car.

According to Sgt. Mark Ortega with the Surprise Police Department, Sylvia Aranda, 37, and her daughter were in a heated argument Friday when Aranda pulled over near Greenway and El Mirage roads to let the girl out of the car.

Witnesses said Aranda then drove her 2006 Chrysler onto the sidewalk, hit the teen with the front passenger tire and drove away.

Ortega said Aranda returned to the scene while police and fire personnel were treating the victim for minor injuries. The teen was released to a family member.

Aranda was interviewed and placed under arrest. She was then transported and booked into Fourth Avenue Jail on one count of aggravated assault-domestic violence.

She has since been released due to a lack of probable cause. No charges have been filed at this time.
