A Perry man was arrested Thursday night after allegedly deliberately crashing his vehicle into a Perry woman’s vehicle.
Christian Skyler Love, 22, of 1903 W. Fourth St., Perry, was charged with assault while displaying a dangerous weapon, first-offense domestic abuse assault-display or use of a weapon, child endangerment and obstruction of emergency communication.
The incident began about 9:30 p.m. Wednesday on Kimble Place in Perry, where officers of the Perry Police Department responded to a report of someone using a “vehicle to intentionally cause an accident,” according to court records.
The officers made contact with the victim, who told the officers that Love, driving a 2015 Ford Taurus, allegedly “struck” the victim’s “rear driver-side bumper and caused the vehicle to spin out and hit the curb,” with the result the victim’s “vehicle tire was torn, had a bent rim and had a crack in the rear driver-side bumper.”
A passenger in the victim’s vehicle corroborated the victim’s account of the incident, according to court records. A 4-year-old child was also a passenger.
Love was held in the Dallas County Jail on a $2,000 cash or surety bond. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing July 14 in Dallas County District Court.
*A criminal charge is merely an accusation, the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
