Apparently, Jennifer Petkov hasn't learned her lesson.
The woman who mercilessly taunted and tortured a seven-year-old girl dying of Huntington's Disease, Kathleen Edward, had apologized to the family after the story of her cruelty received attention nationwide.
She claimed she wasn't the monster she was being made out to be. That's even more difficult to accept now that Petkov has been charged with assault.
From WJBK:
For the past few days, people haven't been focused of Jennifer Petkov and that awful Facebook page. They've been focused on Kathleen Edward and showing her all of the support possible. However, it now appears Petkov's alleged bad behavior has her right back in the spotlight and this time she could end up in jail.
"Last summer, she threatened me. Told me she was going to kill me," said Tana Boling.
As if Jennifer Petkov needs any more negative attention. The woman accused of taunting a terminally ill seven-year-old and her family is now accused of trying to run another neighbor over with her car.
Tana Boling says it happened Wednesday when she was crossing the street to talk to Rebecca Rose, little Kathleen Edward's grandmother. Next thing she knew, she says she was dodging a car.
"When I got like so far out in the street, she (came) speeding out of the driveway right towards me, and if I wouldn't (have) got out of her way there's no doubt she would have hit me," Tana Boling said.
Petkov's been charged with assault with a dangerous weapon and reckless driving. Her family put up ten-percent of her $75,000 bond to get her out of jail. This time they weren't willing to talk to the cameras, but instead of telling us that themselves, they called the cops to be their messengers.
Petkov's lawyer tells FOX 2 this whole incident was blown way out of proportion and that the Petkovs have surveillance footage to prove it. He believes the footage will be enough to convince the prosecutor to drop the charges.
While he was not willing to show the video to FOX 2, Petkov family friend Jarred Hurd says he's seen it.
"I think they have over-exaggerated a lot on it," said Hurd. "The other neighbors make it out to seem like they're horrible. They are not horrible people."

Watch an interview with Tana Boling:
This is so bizarre.
If Petkov did indeed do all the things Boling said she's done, the woman is a danger to the community.
She's terrorizing the neighborhood and should be held accountable for her illegal actions.
This is not a typical feud among people unable to get along.
Petkov is the neighbor from hell.
