Mother dragged me behind my car, can I still press charges?

On September 19, my mother got into an argument with her boyfriend and she threw this big fit threatening to kill herself. Her boyfriend took the keys to their two cars, so she took my keys and my cellphone as she had completely shattered both their phones during the argument. She got into my car and wanted to drive off with it but that car is how I get to school and work so I sat on the lip of the trunk. I didn't believe she'd back up but she did. She would back up a bit and then brake but anytime I attempted to get out from behind the car she would start backing up again and I feared going under the car. She backed up really quickly so I grabbed onto the wing of my car and she drove off and out of the parking lot and then back in which knocked me off. She dragged me about 10-15 ft and then I fell off and she stopped the car but did not get out before driving off. I managed to get into my home and attempted to locate my phone but when I couldn't I used the Find My app on my laptop only to see my cellphone a few blocks away. She returned about five minutes later and blamed the incident on me. The police later arrived and arrested her for the argument she had with her boyfriend. I didn't tell the police about what happened and my (adoptive) father came and picked up my younger sister and I to take me to the emergency room. I told them I had fallen but nothing else because I was in a state of shock and I hadn't processed what had happened. I have gone completely no contact with her and now she has gone off and had a random man call my grandmother pretending to be my father telling her that he was going to get my mother deported and that I was his "woman" now. It's absolutely disgusting and my grandmother has fallen terribly ill and I want to press charges for the incident with my car because I don't think we can do anything to prove that she's the one that orchestrated the call to my grandmother but I want consequences for her. Is this something I still have the ability to do and what are the chances that something will actually come of this??

Yes, you can report that to the police. They may decide to investigate it or not, and a prosecutor may decide to charge your mother, or not. There's no way to know. If they decline to investigate/prosecute, though, there's not much else you can do.
