CLIVE, Iowa — An Iowa woman who told police she intentionally
ran over a 14-year-old girl because she believed the girl was
Mexican has been charged with a hate crime for an incident that
occurred shortly after the girl was struck.

Nicole Franklin, who also goes by the name Nicole Poole, was
charged Sunday with assault in violation of individual rights
and with operating under the influence, second offense. Her
attorney didn’t immediately return a call Monday from The
Associated Press.

Franklin was charged with attempted murder following the Dec. 9
attack on Natalia Miranda in the Des Moines suburb of Clive.
Miranda suffered a concussion and severe bruising and was
hospitalized for two days. Clive police have said Franklin, 42,
admitted steering her SUV onto a sidewalk and running over the
teenager, who was walking to school to watch a basketball game.
Franklin then fled the scene, Clive police said.

West Des Moines police said in a court document that Franklin
then went to a convenience store where she threw items at a
clerk and directed racial epithets at him and customers. That
incident prompted the new charges.
