Markalla Ford, 20, is accused of driving the getaway vehicle that dragged a gas station employee after a man strangled and robbed him of $733 cash, according to court records.

The victim was trying to get the money back from the male suspect when Ford began driving off, court records show.

He told police he was dragged for 20 to 30 yards before letting go, and he had marks on his knees and elbows at the time of the police interview.

Ford admitted to police that she knew the victim was attached to the vehicle as she drove off, court records state.
