A 20-year-old woman was released for lack of evidence after police said she ran down her husband with her car in a church parking lot as service let out.

The incident started just after noon on Sunday as church services let out at St. James Catholic Church on Frances Street in Molalla.

Witnesses told police that the man and woman were arguing over a child custody situation.

As the woman started to drive away, church members reported that she rammed her car into the man, trapping him under her vehicle.

The victim was taken by Life Flight to Legacy Emanuel hospital in Portland to be treated for a life threatening head injury.

Anabel Maldonado of Molalla was arrested and was lodged into the Clackamas County Jail. But a prosecutor on Monday did not file any charges, saying investigators were looking for more evidence in the case.
