A Columbia man was arrested and charged after he allegedly hit someone with his car multiple times on South Smith Hatchery Road on May 21.
Zachary Wainscott, 28, was charged on Tuesday in Boone County with first-degree domestic assault and armed criminal action. He is being held at the Boone County Jail without bond. A court date has not been set.
According to the probable cause statement, deputies were called on May 21 near Cooper’s Landing and a victim was found with broken ribs and was struggling to breath. A nearby fisherman allegedly told police that he heard shouting before seeing Wainscott park his vehicle, get out and assaulted a passenger.
Once the victims broke up the fight, they walked southbound, the statement says. Wainscott allegedly circled them with his vehicle and hit one of the people twice, the statement says.
The victim who was hit by the car told law enforcement at the hospital later that they lost consciousness after they were hit, the statement says. That victim allegedly had a fractured shoulder and multiple broken ribs, according to court documents.
