Investigators and witnesses claimed the woman sprayed something at Melvin, which he then tried to stop. "He jumped up and tried to back her away with the spray because she just started spraying, [and he said], 'What are you spraying on my mom?'" said Bullard, "and she finally got in the car and drove straight in and hit my son."
