According to WATE-TV, Price and Jolly were charged with aggravated assault resulting from road rage on April 23 in Tennessee. The report stated that the two were involved in a hit-and-run where they used a gun to intimidate the other party in the dispute.

The driver of the other vehicle claimed that Jolly, who was driving, shot at him. Meanwhile, both admitted using a gun for intimidation when highway patrol officers pulled them over. However, they denied firing it. A search of their vehicle turned up a .22-caliber rifle.


Recent tragedies in Hannah Price's life

Before she was found dead on Friday, Price faced many hardships. In March 2018, she lost her biological father, Randall Scott Price, to suicide. A few months later, some Tennessee gang members shot Price in the face during a conflict. Following this, she required eye surgery and was left with a prosthetic eye.

25-year-old Hannah Price is survived by her mother Deanna Daughtry and stepfather Chris Daughtry. As per reports, Price was the mother of two children.
