This happy woman just completed what Salt Lake police describe as a virtual husband hunt with her SUV. As shown in the video below, Brenda Christine White, 36, chased her husband with Ford Explorer as he ran from her — pursuing him into an office building and driving down a hallway.
Her attorney Jason Schatz admits that White was the driver, but insists that “What’s in dispute is why this happened.” That might not matter. What is clear is that this couple has irreconcilable differences as represented by the SUV between them.
Schatz insists that White was under emotional distress and taking medication at the time of the attack in 2006. Her ex-husband, Jon Robert White first spotted her and ran from a parking garage to escape. He ran between two parked cars to avoid her and jumped over a concrete wall. He then ran into an office — thinking it would be safe. It wasn’t. Brenda simply ran the SUV into the building and hit him after plowing through the glass entrance. He then got up and says that she drove down a hallway and chased him, hitting him again. He then hid in a closest until a maintenance man found him.
The emotional distress claim is already having problems in court as Brenda faces prosecution for attempted murder and criminal mischief. Schatz says that his client suffers from panic attacks and notes that “At some point in our lives we have all done or said something that we wouldn’t have done if we were in total control of our body.” I respect his effort to work up the best defense possible, but jurors may not identify with a loss of “total control of our body” that results in driving an SUV through a building in pursuit of an ex-husband. It is the type of thing the produces panic rather than being produced by it.

Just when I think I’ve heard everything…..
That dude in the Sister Wives Case better hide the car keys.
2006? And the case is just being heard? So much for a speedy trial.
Anonymously Yours, I just knew you would lead off the comments on this one. Your derision for wives is righteous in this case. I’m surprised you were so restrained.
Cute — in an Aileen Wuornos kind of way.
You can run, but you cannot hide…from a SUV driven by a scorned woman.
I can relate to her anger. I just didn’t act on it.
If she had a Prius she could have snuck up on him. The silence of a Prius when it’s just going slowly is an actual hazard. But, in her case, it would have been a plus.
When will they build a REAL car for a scorned woman?
Properly weaponized.
nick spinelli:
very funny. I heard recently that people with a Prius are killing their cats because the cats cant hear the car.
yes, i’d like crazy redneck chicks who aren’t from fla or texas for 200 alex.
and mespo, i have a personal story about aileen i’ll share sometime.

You are a truly twisted person, come sit by me…
(Prius is going to pot some false engine-type sound into the car, I’ve read, no sound is dangerous.)
I hope her drivers license was taken away from her while she awaited trial.
lotta, Do you think lack of a license will stop her if she’s in the mood?
Folks, To me the cause is obvious:
Brenda Christine White, 36, chased her husband . . .

Share that one soon.

Wootsy, They’re also a hazard for blind people.
Lotta,
“(Prius is going to pot some false engine-type sound into the car, I’ve read, no sound is dangerous.)”
The next step is in an SF story. Add spark generation, smoke generation, increase the noise, put holes in the floor for the feet, and take out the engine and sell to young men.
She was/is a greedy, vindictive, shrill, histrionic woman. No surprise there.

maybe. or maybe he’s a lying, two-timing, skinflint of an sob and she caught him again.
I think I posted earlier that there was this couple in Dallas about a decade ago. Both dentists. The guy dentist was having an affair with his secretary. Lady dentist (wife) caught them coming out of a hotel. Guy dentist gets run over several times in the parking lot with a Denali SUV. Lady dentist jumps out of the SUV, grabs guy dentist and says, honey are you okay? Guy dentist was dead.
