Let’s set the scene. Hollie Dance, 50, and her son, Brandon Dance, 22, got into some kind of spat with another driver. It was a classic “he cut me off” situation. Standard stuff, right?
Wrong. So, so wrong. The pair followed the other driver. They pulled up alongside. And then, according to reports, they deliberately smashed their car into the victim’s vehicle. Not a little tap. A ram. Like they were playing a live-action version of Grand Theft Auto.
The victim’s car spun out. It crashed. Fortunately, the driver wasn’t killed, but they were seriously injured. I mean, can you imagine? Just driving along, and suddenly a mom and her kid decide your car is a bowling pin.
The "Family Bonding" Nobody Ordered
Here’s my favorite part. When the police showed up, what do you think Hollie and Brandon said? Did they express remorse? Did they sob about a temporary lapse in judgment?
Nope. They lied. They claimed the victim was the aggressor. They spun a whole story about being chased. It was like a bad improv class where everyone forgot the prompt was "honesty."

But that’s not even the best part. The best part is that they were convicted of assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. And the judge was not in a mood for jokes. Hollie got six years. Brandon got five years and four months. Merry Christmas to them.
