DeKalb man indicted for allegedly running over estranged wife with truck

A 64-year-old man from DeKalb County has been indicted for allegedly running over his estranged wife with his truck and attempting to hide her death, Atlanta News First reported. The incident occurred on June 21 when the man was pulling his truck out of her driveway and she grabbed onto the door handle, prosecutors said.

According to the DeKalb County District Attorney’s Office, the man accelerated, running over his wife in the street, then failed to stop, call emergency services, or provide help. He was arrested on a grand jury warrant and remains in the DeKalb County Jail without bond.

FOX 5 Atlanta added that the man faces charges including first-degree vehicular homicide, reckless driving, hit-and-run resulting in serious injury or death, stalking, and concealing the death of another. The case is being prosecuted by the District Attorney’s Domestic Violence/Sexual Assault Unit and assigned to a DeKalb County Superior Court judge.

An arraignment date has not yet been scheduled, but authorities continue to pursue the case in DeKalb County Superior Court as it moves forward.
