McDavid Woman Went To Get Divorce Papers Signed, Tried To Run Over Multiple People, ECSO Says
December 10, 2021
A McDavid woman is accused of trying to run over multiple people with her vehicle after trying to get divorce papers signed, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.
Mary Ellen Edwards, 42, was charged with five felony counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Edwards had gone to a residence on Betmark Road to get divorce papers signed and got into a verbal altercation with her estranged husband and other individuals at the residence, according to the ECSO.
The husband told deputies that Edwards threatened to burn his trailer down before getting into her vehicles and attempting to “try to run people over”, an arrest report states. She also grabbed a “big stick or something” and attempted to strike one person, the report continues.
During the incident, she did collide with a swing set and nearly hit the home, the report states. Deputies noted there was fresh foliage in the grill of her vehicle from a shrub near the porch, and there were multiple tire imprints in the yard.
Edwards was released on a $5,000 bond.

Just an outsider looking in…. Remember there is always 3 sides his, hers, and the truth. Not saying anyone is lying just saying three sides about everything.
For one, she had NO right to go to his place That is the whole point of separating. He had every right to believe that she’d be hostile. The proper protocol is to make contact and meet in public, like a lawyer’s office OR send a lawyer.
Think before you act!!!! She should have contacted her to be EX to meet her for coffee to sign the divorce papers in a location with there are other people around. Not his family.
So many people here doing mental gymnastics to spin this so that she can be the poor little victim.
Yep…I couldn’t agree with you more @Heather Gulsby…I know she’s a sweetheart and there is obviously more to this story.
I’m moving to a different city. You can’t make this stuff up.
Response to QuailAnon/ Sounds like another story where the man spins it to make a woman seem crazy.. or drive her there!
No… from the report, I am pretty sure “she was driving”
All right this could be all twisted she could have went to go get them signed and they all gained up on her and she was trying to get away keep an open mind people don’t be so uptight and one-sided know both sides of the story before you go and try to judge somebody when you have skeletons in your own closet. So I’m sure there’s a justification for her actions I know this person very well and this is way out of character for her so I do believe there’s more to this y’all should too.
Is she single yet? Just askin for a friend
That’s what you get an attorney for. If not, hire a courier. Why torture yourself?
Sounds to me no matter what is going on it don’t take too much spinning to make somebody look crazy when they try to run over four people. In front of kids and onlookers.
Oh Ellen. You are better than that.
During a divorce emotions are flared. It is always best to keep those emotions in check. There is help for people simply cannot find the ability.
Unfortunately, this women decided NOT to take the high road in a divorce.
geeeez! just sign the papers! lol
Remember Hell Hath No Furry Like A Scorned Woman. I couldnt sign those papers fast enough.
Sounds like ol dude should have dumped here llllllooooonnnnnggggg ago
Sounds like she had had enough. Lady he’s just not worth it! Nobody is. Thankfully she didn’t hurt anyone but herself.
After all that, I hope he signed the papers!
I’m guessing she wasn’t a happy camper.
I think I heard this in a country song.
How many times has he refused to sign those papers? What are his priors? Sounds like another story where the man spins it to make a woman seem crazy.. or drive her there!
That’s the perfect way to serve divorce papers!
