LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — The case against a woman who was arrested after allegedly driving a car into a house and leading police on a chase will be sent to a grand jury.
Lasielle White is facing charges of attempted murder, fleeing or evading police, criminal mischief, and wanton endangerment.
A Lexington police officer and White's boyfriend spoke in court Thursday.
Rodrick Holman told the court White did not intend to kill him but only scare him.
The officer did confirm Holman was not stabbed in the incident and the knife was blocked by a leather bag he was wearing.
White is being held on a $75,000 bond. If she does bond out, she is ordered to be under house arrest and live with her aunt.

According to court documents, police responded to a call for a domestic violence situation involving a weapon at a home on Lonan Court around 4:15 p.m. Tuesday, February 7.
When officers arrived on scene, they were unable to reach anyone and learned the victim had fled the area.
Around 5:04 p.m., officers and emergency crews were called to the same residence for a report of wanton endangerment involving a collision.
According to a citation, White allegedly attempted to strike another person and then struck a home with a car. Police attempted to make contact with her but she refused to exit the car.
Police say White then backed into a police cruiser and accelerated forward, almost hitting several Lexington firefighters.
In response to the "life-threatening situation," an officer fired their weapon, hitting White, according to police.
A citation says White then fled the scene and was pursued by police through Fayette and Scott Counties before coming to a stop at Coldstream Park off Newtown Pike.
