GALLIANO, La. – A 19-year-old Cut Off man ran over his girlfriend’s legs after dragging her as she tried to get in to his truck early Wednesday morning, according to Lafourche Sheriff Craig Webre.


 


Joshua Thibodaux is charged with driving under the influence, first-degree negligent injury and hit and run and was processed into the Lafourche Parish Detention Center.


 


According to Webre, deputies responded to aid 20-year-old Ashley Griffin, who was taken to the hospital. Webre said Griffin reported that she had tried to get into Thibodaux’s truck and that he took off, dragging her until she fell, at which time the truck rolled over her legs.


 


Webre said Thibodaux was found at his home and admitted arguing with Griffin and to knowing that she was trying to get into his car. He said that when he realized she wasn’t inside, he went home.


 


Thibodaux admitted to having some drinks and failed a field sobriety test, according to Webre.

This teaches three different lessons. One, don't drink and drive. Two, don't try to get in a moving car. Three, don't try to get in a moving car with a drunk driver.

To ispeeksasiplease: that's what 9/10 battered women have in common, right? And I know we're talking about Cut Off, LA but... REALLY! This dude's a big sexy fish in the shallow end of the dating pool. I like his my-face-isn't-fat beard. I just wish I could have been a fly on the wall to hear what they were arguing about 5 minutes before it all went down... I'm betting it was about the cost of drive-thru daiquiris! And I think myself above it all... Pfffft! *snicker*

Mabey she was under the influence too! Its kinda hard to get your legs run over while trying to get in a car any other way, she should be charged with drunk in public oh, and ispeekasiplease was right, she probably wasnt listening, if she had a black eye u know she done been told at least once!
