Scott endured devastating injuries, which included a fractured neck, spine, and lacerated liver. She was promptly transported to University Hospital in critical condition.
Elizabeth police found Jean alone in the driver’s seat of his parked SUV on Jefferson Avenue. According to prosecutors, Jean is currently unemployed and has a previous conviction for aggravated assault, demonstrating a history of violence.
A video captured the terrifying incident, which had at least five witnesses present.

Jean faced a range of serious charges, including second-degree aggravated assault, third-degree aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, third-degree assault by auto, third-degree leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident with serious bodily injury, third-degree endangering an injured victim, and third-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.
Jean could potentially face a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison.
