HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WBTW) -- A 21-year-old woman is facing nearly a dozen charges after allegedly hitting a person's vehicle with her own and telling a uniformed officer "I'm going to run you over with my car" and "beat you up until you die," according to police records obtained by News13.

Taylor Marie Rowell of Galivants Ferry faces a slew of charges including assaulting a police officer serving process, malicious injury to personal property of more than $2,000 but less than $10,000 and two counts of threatening the life of a public employee. She was booked into the J. Reuben Long Detention Center on Christmas Eve and released Thursday.
Horry County police responded Monday night to a home off Gary Road in the Conway area for a suspect intentionally hitting a parked vehicle, an incident report shows. While en route, officers learned Rowell crashed her vehicle in a ditch up the road. They had prior knowledge of Rowell and knew her driver's license was suspended.
Officers found Rowell standing by her car in the ditch and placed her under arrest, the police report said. She allegedly tried resisting and kicked one of the officers in the groin.
Two officers then met with the victims, who said Rowell was inside their house causing problems with her boyfriend and trying to attack him, according to the report. The other victim said he got in the middle of it and tried to separate Rowell and her boyfriend when Rowell bit him in the chest.

After that, Rowell allegedly got into her car and drove into the side of one of the victim's parked car before putting in reverse and driving at a high speed into the other victim's car, the report said. After hitting both vehicles, Rowell took off down the road before she crashed into a ditch.
The officers went back to conduct a DUI test on Rowell when she allegedly threatened them, saying she was going to run over one of them with a car, according to the report.
