Assault

Narrative Summary
On 7/4/20 at approximately 9:26 pm I was dispatched to investigate a vehicle versus pedestrian crash which occurred on SR 34 near milepost 9. When I arrived at the scene I located two involved males associated with a Chevy Silverado also at the scene. One male was transported via Life Flight helicopter to Sacred Heart Riverbend Hospital with life threatening injuries. The second male admitted he was the driver of the Silverado. He was exhibiting several signs of impairment. He consented to and performed poorly on SFST’s and was taken into custody for DUII. Further investigation revealed the two vehicle occupants were father and son who had been involved in a physical altercation while driving. The son, after stopping to allow the father to exit the vehicle, struck his father with the truck. He then exited the vehicle and further physically assaulted the father. The driver was lodged in Lincoln County Jail and charged with Attempted Murderer in the Second Degree, Assault I, Assault II, Assault III and DUII – Alcohol.
