A shocking domestic disturbance in Colorado has led to the arrest of a man accused of using his SUV as a weapon against his ex-girlfriend’s family. The suspect allegedly tried to run down his ex-girlfriend’s mother before crashing into two homes, according to police.
Domestic Dispute Turns Dangerous
The incident happened on Sunday morning in the Hyland Greens neighbourhood of Westminster, about 15 miles north of Denver. Police said officers were called at around 10:45 a.m. after receiving reports of a vehicle crashing into private residences.
Suspect Targets Ex-Girlfriend’s Mother
Investigators revealed that the man was initially looking for his ex-girlfriend’s family. He first rammed his SUV into the home of his ex-girlfriend’s mother before fleeing the scene.
Not long after, he reportedly crashed into a second, unrelated residence. But the violence did not stop there — the suspect allegedly returned and attempted to run over his ex-girlfriend’s mother multiple times before once again slamming his vehicle into her home.
Neighbors Step In
Witnesses in the area quickly intervened and managed to detain the man until police arrived. Authorities confirmed that no serious injuries were reported, though both homes sustained structural damage.
Police Statement
In a statement, the Westminster Police Department described the case as a “domestic disturbance incident” and confirmed the man had been taken into custody. Investigators are now reviewing the full extent of damages and potential charges.
Community Shock
The unusual and violent nature of the incident has left residents shaken. Hyland Greens is typically a quiet neighbourhood, making the crashes and attempted assault all the more alarming.
The arrest in Westminster highlights how domestic disputes can escalate into dangerous and destructive situations. Thankfully, no lives were lost in this frightening series of crashes.
