Theresa Wilson said she rammed the car in front of her three times because she thought it was her boyfriend’s.

A case of mistaken identity could land a Washington woman in jail.

Tuesday morning, Washington troopers responded to a collision just outside of Chehalis. Theresa Wilson said she rammed the car in front of her three times.

“It was her boyfriend’s car and she was mad at him because, recently, she went over to his house and found her boyfriend in the presence of another female,” said WSP Trooper Garvin March.

The only problem was that the car in front of her did not belong to Wilson’s boyfriend, it belonged to Timothy Baars. He was on his way to work when she started slamming into him.

“It wasn’t even the same make and model of her boyfriend’s car,” said March. “Close, but not quite the same. The color was a lot darker, her boyfriend’s car was maroon and this one was more bright red. She wasn’t real observant.”

Neither driver was hurt, but Wilson now faces assault charges.
