A northwest Iowa woman has been charged with attempted murder for her role in a two-vehicle accident in Plymouth County nearly four months ago. Authorities say 29 year old Melissa Ebert, of Cherokee, intentionally drove her vehicle into the path of a car driven by 28 year old Dustin Boll, of Le Mars, shortly before midnight on September 9th. Both drivers and a passenger in Ebert’s vehicle, 33 year old Damian Johnson, also of Cherokee, suffered serious injuries in the accident on a county road.

Ebert has been charged with two counts of attempted murder, two counts of serious injury by motor vehicle and second offense O-W-I. She’s being held in the Plymouth County Jail on $50-thousand dollars bond.
