<p>NANTICOKE &#8212; Police say a man ran over his girlfriend with a motorcycle when she was trying to get her cell phone back from him.</p><p>City police Officers Joseph Buchalski and Bryan Kata were dispatched to East Ridge Street for a domestic dispute in which a third-party caller reported that his neighbor asked him to call 911 after her boyfriend, Robert Kamowski, smashed her cell phone and tried to run her over with his motorcycle.</p><p>While en route, the officers stopped Kamowski, who was operating a blue 2002 Harley-Davidson in between the 100 and 200 blocks of East Church Street. A records check of Kamowski&#8217;s driver&#8217;s license showed up as suspended and expired as of June 25, 2010, police said.</p><p>Buchalski stayed with Kamowski while Kata proceeded to the victim&#8217;s residence.</p><p>Upon arrival, Kata initially spoke with the caller, who advised him that he had seen Kamowski pull up on his motorcycle, get off and approach the victim, who was sitting in her vehicle. The witness said Kamowski was yelling at and threatening the victim when he saw him take her cell phone and smash it off of the roadway, police said.</p><p>The neighbor told police he had last seen Kamowski pushing and shoving the woman before entering his residence to call 911.</p><p>Kata then spoke with the victim, who told him that Kamowski began following her, pulled alongside of her vehicle and asked if she would speak with him. She said she told him no and asked Kamowski to leave her alone. She then drove away and proceeded to her residence, but Kamowski continued to follow her, police said.</p><p>When the woman arrived outside her home and parked, Kamowski pulled up across the street and approached her vehicle. She again asked Kamowski to leave, but he refused and then asked her for a key which he had left in her vehicle. When she told him she couldn&#8217;t find it, he reached inside and ripped her cellphone out of her hands and smashed it by throwing it off the roadway, police said.</p><p>The woman told police she got out of her vehicle, picked up the pieces of her phone and told Kamowski that he could look inside the vehicle for his key and tools, but to leave after he had found them. Kamowski then grabbed the shattered cell phone from the woman&#8217;s hands and began walking toward his motorcycle. She told police she tried to get the phone back, but he began shoving and pushing her, police said.</p><p>The woman said that while she was standing near the front of the motorcycle still trying to get her phone back, Kamowski started the bike and began to drive away, and she was struck by the bike and knocked to the ground. Kata observed her left front pants leg had an imprint of the motorcycle&#8217;s tire and her left ankle was brush-burned. Her phone was recovered from Kamowski&#8217;s back pants pocket, police said.</p><p>Kamowski, 46, was taken into custody and charged with one count each of robbery, simple assault, theft by unlawful taking or disposition, receiving stolen property, recklessly endangering another person, criminal mischief, harassment and driving while operating privilege is suspended or revoked.</p><p>He was arraigned before District Judge James Dixon and, unable to post $10,000 bail, was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility to await a preliminary hearing scheduled for July 29.</p><style>
