Some divorces are contentious - others are so nasty they defy description.
Take the case of Brenda White, a 30-year-old woman from Salt Lake City. Police say she not only chased her estranged husband through a parking lot in her SUV, she continued to go after him even after he sought shelter inside a building. KUTV in Salt Lake City has the end of the chase on tape, captured by a surveillance camera trained on the building's lobby.
According to news reports, Ms. White and her husband John White have been separated for the past six months.

Police arrived shortly afterward and Mrs. White is now in jail, charged with attempted murder.
Incidently, the same surveillance video that captured the bizarre attack shows that just minutes before a small girl was playing in the lobby, exactly where
