MIDLAND -- A Midland man is accused of driving at two people in their own driveways.
Aaron James Hankins was arrested on March 2nd.
Midland County Sheriff's deputies say that Hankins, 22, drove at a man in a maroon Chevrolet pickup truck in the 6600 block of East County Road 95.
The victim told deputies that he was standing in his driveway and removing a game camera from his fence post when he noticed the pickup truck speeding westbound toward him.
The victim said that Hankins swerved out of the way at the last second, but he allegedly drove through the man's fence line and property before ending up on East County Road 97.
Deputies say that Hankins then drove directly at a man who was standing in his driveway in the 6700 block of East County Road 97.
The second victim reportedly jumped out of the way, and the pickup truck reportedly swerved to miss a fence and dumpster.
Deputies came to the scene, and they moved to arrest Hankins.
Now, Hankins is charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
As of Tuesday evening, Hankins was being held in the Midland County Detention Center on $200,000 bond.
