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.
