A Grambling man was arrested for aggravated battery after he allegedly attempted to run over a woman last Tuesday.

Officers saw a small gash on the woman.
Mayfield’s vehicle was located at a Wilson Street apartment. Mayfield was taken into custody and refused to speak with officers. He was booked for aggravated battery, aggravated battery with a vehicle, and theft over $100.
