A woman was arrested on suspicion of domestic battery with substantial bodily harm and battery with a deadly weapon on June 19 after allegedly striking a male victim with a small pick-up truck.
Winnemucca Police officers were dispatched to the intersection of Shepard Street and Bridge Street at approximately 3:25 that afternoon. Upon arrival, an adult male was observed lying on the pavement after being run over by a small truck, WPD said.
EMS arrived on scene and administered aid to the male, who was identified as Daniel Mentaberry, and transported him to Humboldt General Hospital. The driver was identified as Melonie Dawn Carpenter, Mentaberry's girlfriend.
According to WPD, evidence recovered on scene, in conjunction with witness statements, led investigators to believe the incident was possibly a continuation of an earlier unreported domestic disturbance.
Carpenter was placed into custody on the above charges and booked on $70,000 bail.
