CHICORA — A man recounted being hit twice by a Jeep driven by ex-girlfriend Mandy S. Campbell during a domestic dispute at her home in Center Township two days after the couple broke up.

The first time, Dec. 12, said Andrew Myers, he landed on the hood of the vehicle. The second time, he was sent airborne.

But Myers' account at a preliminary hearing Tuesday at the office of District Judge Lewis Stoughton was not backed up by a neighbor, who watched the altercation but did not see Campbell hit the alleged victim.

Stoughton, nonetheless, ordered Campbell, 44, held for trial on a felony charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, misdemeanor charges of simple assault and disorderly conduct and a summary charge of harassment.

She remains free on $10,000 unsecured bond.

Myers testified he had been at a bar Dec. 11 when Campbell gave him a ride to her home on Baxter Lane. He stayed the night, but the following morning, a little before 9 a.m., she told him to leave because she had to go to work.

He also claimed she was “aggravated” enough with him over a text message on his cellphone that she “repeatedly punched” him in the head.

The two argued inside and then outside the house, where he went to retrieve his belongings, including boots and a jacket, in her Jeep.

“I was being hit and pushed around,” Myers said, again accusing Campbell of assaulting him. He claimed she also bit him and gouged one of his eyes as he was getting his property from her vehicle.

“My full intention was to leave and to get away,” he told prosecutor David Beichner, a county assistant district attorney, “but that was not happening.”

Myers said as he began walking from Campbell, she drove the Jeep at him.

“That's the very first time that she struck me from behind,” he testified. He was allegedly hit in the lower back.

“I was able to realize at the moment what was happening,” he continued, “so I kind of jumped up, landed on the hood and I was able to get away at that time without being actually run over.”

But as he walked up a hill in the yard, Myers said she struck him again in the lower back with the Jeep.

“I did fly through the yard,” he said, “which allowed me to get away at that point.”

By then, he recalled, neighbors were yelling and saying they were calling the police. He said Campbell drove away.

On cross-examination by Campbell's attorney, Michael Jewart, Myers admitted he grabbed the defendant while in her Jeep getting his property, but only to stop her from hitting him.

He also acknowledged that during the altercation, he might have ripped the rearview mirror off the windshield, but not deliberately. He could not say if he broke the turn signal from the Jeep's steering column.

Jewart asked Myers about his injuries from allegedly being hit by the vehicle.

Myers said he went to a hospital emergency room that day, but “they didn't find anything” after taking CT scans and X-rays.

He later went to his doctor, who diagnosed him with thoracic back pain and lower back pain.

The attorney appeared surprised when Myers admitted that he had no bruising on his back.

“So, you get struck by a vehicle and had no bruising?” Jewart asked.

“Correct,” Myers said.

Beichner called no other witnesses and rested his case.

While it is unusual for a defense attorney to put on his case at a preliminary hearing, Jewart called a neighbor of Campbell's, Cory Fry, to testify.

Fry said he was awakened from sleep and looked out the window. He recalled seeing Campbell and Myers “on the ground, fighting.”

Later, he said he saw the two get into an altercation in the defendant's vehicle before Myers started walking down the street.

“Mandy started driving towards (Myers),” Fry testified, “but never made actual contact.”

Jewart asked his witness: “At any point in time, did you see her strike Mr. Myers?”

“No,” Fry replied.

During brief questioning by Beichner, Fry acknowledged he did not see how the argument between Campbell and Myers began.

“And you were not there observing the entire time,” Beichner said, “is that correct?”

“Correct,” Fry answered.
