PORTLAND -- A Westbrook woman was charged with hitting a man with a rock in Portland and then intentionally driving a car into a house over the weekend.

Police charged Lori A. Leclair-Little with aggravated assault, reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon, driving drunk and driving with a suspended license.

Portland police say Leclair-Little drove a white sport utility vehicle to 3 Horton Place in Portland at 9 p.m. Friday. A dispute over money broke out between Leclair-Little, her friends and people at the residence.

Police called to the scene spotted the white SUV up against a building, then saw it back up quickly nearly hitting the officers, then ram the building.

Police arrested Leclair-Little and said witnesses reported she had previously hit a man in the back of the head with a rock during the dispute.

A man who had been a passenger in the SUV, Paul O'Hara, 49, was taken to Maine Medical Center with facial injuries. He was issued a summons for assault.
