[SUPER=03-Blacksburg;]
Yesterday, a judge certified three felony malicious wounding charges against 31-year-old Victoria Shepherd.
They stem from an alleged August 18th act of road rage on Route 460.
Witnesses testimony said Shepherd was driving erratically and purposely swerved into another car.
Shepherd's 6-week old infant was in the vehicle.
No one was injured.
The Blacksburg woman also faces hit and run charges.
Shepherd's attorney asked the charges be dropped, saying she did report the accident once she got home and that there's no evidence of intent.
The judge denied that and also found Shepherd guilty of misdemeanor reckless driving.
