A Greenwood woman is behind bars after authorities say she ran over her husband during a domestic dispute Sunday evening.
According to the Sebastian County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to the 9600 block of White Lane around 7:30 p.m. on August 31 after receiving a call about a medical emergency. When they arrived, emergency crews were already treating 34-year-old Clayton Masterson of Lavaca, who had been struck by a vehicle.
Investigators say Masterson’s wife, 34-year-old Dara Masterson, told deputies she had gone to the home to speak with her husband and gather belongings, as the couple was separated. An argument reportedly broke out, and as she attempted to leave, Dara Masterson said she felt threatened, backed up her vehicle, and struck her husband.
Clayton Masterson sustained severe injuries and was airlifted to Little Rock for treatment. Authorities said he was initially listed in critical condition but has since been upgraded to stable.
The Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division took over the case, leading to Dara Masterson’s arrest. She faces charges of second-degree domestic battery, a felony, and driving while intoxicated. She remains in custody on a $10,000 bond.
