A Tooele mom accused of hitting her son with a skateboard and her vehicle pled guilty in 3rd District Court Tuesday to amended charges of domestic violence-related assault and leaving the scene of an accident.

Alicia Ann Blood, 38, was arrested Aug. 5 after Tooele City police received a call reporting that Blood had assaulted her 16-year-old son near the skate park at the Dow James Complex.

Witnesses told police Blood had argued with her son before hitting him in the head with his skateboard. When the teen attempted to leave, Blood then got into her car, drove over the curb, and chased the boy across the grass, according to Capt. Steve Newkirk of the Tooele City Police Department.

After hitting the boy with her car, Blood exited the vehicle, yelled at her son and then got back into her vehicle and drove away. She was arrested at home shortly thereafter, according to a probable cause statement.

Blood was originally charged with aggravated assault and child abuse/neglect — both third-degree felonies — and failure to give assistance at an accident — a class A misdemeanor. Blood pled guilty, however, to lesser charges of simple assault and leaving the scene of an accident — both class A misdemeanors — as part of a plea deal.

Blood will appear for sentencing on Oct. 21.
