Only in That State Up North

From that fine (insert sarcastic hack) place north of Ohio...

A Tozer Road man was hospitalized Saturday; his wife is suspected of dragging him and running over him with a pickup truck.

Deputies suspect use of alcohol and pain medication may have been a factor in the accident that broke the man's hips, foot, arm and pelvis.
Witnesses told Lapeer County Sheriff's Department deputies Chad Whitt and Dave Winstead there was a gathering at the couple's house and people were drinking alcoholic beverages. The hosts ran out of beer and the wife got into their truck with intentions of driving to the market to buy more.
The husband tried to stop his wife from leaving by taking the keys out of the truck. Witnesses said the wife resisted, and shouted a vulgar retort to her spouse.
With an open driver's side door, she started driving and dragged her husband for a short distance. She ran him over with the left rear truck tire.
