A Friendswood dentist was charged with murder this morning, accused of killing her orthodontist husband by repeatedly running over him in the parking lot of an upscale Clear Lake hotel as his teen-age daughter struggled to get out of the car.
Dr. David Harris, a 44-year-old orthodontist with offices in Clear Lake, was rushed to St. John's Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Dr. Clara Harris, a 44-year-old dentist with offices in Lake Jackson, was in the custody of Nassau Bay police this morning. Bond has been set at $30,000.
Nassau Bay police said the incident began just before 9 p.m. Wednesday, when the couple got into a heated argument in the lobby of the Nassau Bay Hilton along the shores of Clear Lake on NASA Road 1. One of the pair evidently was followed to the hotel by a private investigator hired by the other, police said.
The hotel management called police and asked the couple to leave, police said.
When the husband went out to his car in the parking lot, witnesses said his wife followed, got into her Mercedes, where her 16-year-old stepdaughter was waiting, and struck her husband as he was getting into his own car.
Police said witnesses told them that while the teenager tried to get out of the car, the woman circled around and ran over her husband twice more.
Police said that when they arrived, Clara Harris seemed calm, like she was in shock. She was questioned but did not explain her motives.
The couple, who lived in a half-million-dollar house in Friendswood's Polly Ranch Estates, have 3-year-old twin boys, who were at home with their nanny at the time.
since it is a current topic: death penalty? or life in prison?
