Crystal Collins charged with battery after allegedly dragging a woman behind her car in Champaign County.

Crystal Collins, 43, was arrested and charged with two counts of battery after allegedly dragging a woman behind her Nissan Altima in Champaign County on September 13, 2025. According to a police affidavit, Collins accelerated while her daughter held onto the victim’s shirt, dragging her several yards after the daughter told her to “drag this h—.” The victim suffered road rash injuries and said the incident was part of an ongoing dispute, including a similar event two days earlier. Collins claimed the victim had attacked her daughter at a relative’s wake, but police said cellphone videos she provided supported the victim’s account. No details were released about her daughter.
