Man Dies Stuck In Windshield; Suspect Indicted Suspect Charged With Murder, Tampering With Evidence

POSTED: 2:23 p.m. EDT April 25, 2002

FORT WORTH, Texas -- A Texas grand jury has indicted on a murder charge the woman who's accused of striking a man with her car and leaving him in her windshield -- to die.

Chante Mallard (pictured, left) remains in custody, with bond set at $250,000.

She's been indicted in Tarrant County on charges of murder and tampering with evidence.

Authorities say Gregory Biggs was struck last October along a Fort Worth highway. Mallard allegedly drove home with Biggs trapped in her windshield. Authorities say she then parked in her garage -- and left him to die.

Authorities said Mallard hit Biggs with her car in October, drove home with him stuck in her broken windshield, and then ignored his cries as he bled to death in her garage. Investigators said Mallard apologized to the man as she ignored his cries for help. Police said Mallard, with the help of friends, dumped his body in a park.

"I'm going to have to come up with a new word. Indifferent isn't enough. Cruel isn't enough to say. Heartless? Inhumane? Maybe we've just redefined inhumanity here," a prosecutor in Fort Worth told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram about the October 2001 incident.

According to an arrest warrant affidavit quoted by the Star-Telegram, the woman who tipped off police said she, Mallard and several other women were at a party Feb. 15 when Mallard brought up the accident.

It said she told of hitting a man while driving under the influence of alcohol and Ecstasy, Mallard giggled and remarked that after the accident she had sex with a friend at her home, the paper reported the affidavit says.

The paper reported that Mallard told friends that she planned to burn the car and buy a new one after she received her income tax refund.

Biggs had struggled with mental illness and had been staying at a homeless shelter, where workers said he often brought them flowers. He was estranged from his family.

Biggs' body was later found dumped in a Fort Worth park.

Investigators had no leads until earlier this year, when a tipster told them Mallard talked about the incident at a party.

I suggest that Texas find a new form of execution for this piece of work--involving a broken windshield for instance?

Does anyone know the race of the victim, e.g. is this a hate crime?? (Oops, right, that only works if the killer is white.)

How about the word "amoral?"

Hang'em both. Sorry got carried away, inject them both, this is TEXAS and it sounds like a hate crime to me. I am thinking about injecting them both twice. In the article FRIEND's was plural. Might just need more needles. Kind and gentle is ok as long as the final desired result works. Tom

Do you really expect anything different from the "Hollywood Set"?
