The wife of famed NASCAR engine builder Ernie Elliott is back in Dawson County Sheriff’s Office custody. Sheila G. Elliott, 63, was arrested June 2 for violating her court ordered conditions of release. The initial arrest stems from an incident in which she reportedly attempted to run over her husband with a car on March 18. Initially taken into custody on March 24, she appeared before Northeastern Judicial Circuit Judge Jason Deal on May 12, the same day he signed a consent bond and ordered her release on her “own recognizance,” provided she check into and reside at a residential treatment facility. According to court records, on June 1 she notified authorities of her intent to leave the residential treatment facility in Atlanta where she was ordered to remain as a condition of her release from jail on an aggravated assault charge. “”¦defendant notified the district attorney’s office and the Dawson County Sheriff’s Office she was leaving said treatment facility and returning to Dawson County,” the motion to revoke bond read. “Defendant did so without consent of all parties and did so with the knowledge she would be in direct violation of her bond agreement.”(Dawson Community News)(6-10-2015)
