Thompson said the father of her child was attempting to steal her car after the two were engaged in a “heated argument.”
I was scared a little bit because I’m like if he throws on the brakes, I’m going to fly off this car. I’m not going to go out without no fight because I work too hard for my things. I’m a single mother and I do this by myself.
The tough Houstonian said she rode on the hood of the car for nearly a mile, holding on with one hand, while dialing 911 to report the auto theft with the other.
Police said they do not expect either party to face charges.
