IDAHO FALLS — A Blackfoot man is behind bars in Bonneville County after police say he brutally injured a woman.
Matthew S. Walker, 28, was taken into custody on a warrant for aggravated battery and domestic battery stemming from an altercation that occurred Nov. 9.
Police say Walker and a 25-year-old woman got into an argument and he pushed and kicked her a couple of times before taking off with her car.
According to officers, the woman tried to stop Walker from taking the car and leaned into the driver’s side to retrieve the keys.
As she was doing this, police say Walker drove off with her still dangling from the driver’s side. He sideswiped some parking garages — crushing and pinning the woman’s legs between the car and garage.
Investigators say the woman fell out of the vehicle to the ground and Walker drove away.
Walker of Blackfoot was served the warrant at the Bonneville County Jail on Wednesday, Dec. 16 after he was transported from Bingham County Jail.
The Idaho Repository shows Walker has an extensive criminal history. He is scheduled to appear in court Thursday, Dec. 17.
