Ex Struck With Truck During Domestic Dispute
Law enforcement officers were summoned to investigate Sunday when a woman struck her ex-husband with her vehicle while trying to escape a domestic dispute.
Officers with both the Lawrenceburg Police and Lawrence County Sheriff’s Departments investigated the 2:14 a.m. altercation on Prosser Road.
The female involved told officers that her ex-husband had called, asking her to give him a ride because he was intoxicated.
She said that she picked him up and was driving him to his destination when he began to jerk the wheel. She said she pulled over at Lawrenceburg Public School, and that when he began to grab at her keys she attempted to “taser” him.
She said that she got out of the truck, but that he refused to do so. She said he agreed to have her drive him to his destination without any further difficulty.
The victim told deputies that when they arrived at the Prosser Road location he reached through her open window and grabbed her hair, pulling out a large piece.
She said that her only recourse was to put the vehicle in gear, back up, then drive away. She said when she did so, “She might have hit him but she could not remember.”
Deputies did find what they described as a “large chunk” of the victim’s hair inside the vehicle.
Deputies report that when they arrived the male involved was inside the business. When they entered they report that he was lying on a blanket on the floor, “moaning and groaning.” They said that he was unable to lay on his back.
He had sustained a large cut to the forehead and his right index finger, “was broken, laying sideways.” He told deputies that “nothing had happened, he just wanted to go to bed.”
The man was transported to Crockett Hospital for medical attention. When again asked to explain what had happened, deputies report that he declined to do so. He would only say that he had been “hit by a car.”
Investigation in the matter is currently on-going through both departments.
