While the victim was not injured, the vehicle was struck numerous times. VCU Commander Captain Jack Kennedy said the motive appears to have been a personal disagreement between the victim and Thomas. "In addition to the new warrant, Thomas had several outstanding writs for probation revocation on previous cases, including robbery and kidnapping, and he is being held on these cases as well," he said.
