An Alabama man has been convicted of assaulting a disabled man by running over him with a car, prosecutors said.

The Mobile County District Attorney’s Office announces that Joseph Pervito was convicted by a jury of his peers for first-degree assault.

On September 23, 2021, Pervito went to the victim’s home where Pervito’s ex-girlgriend was staying.
