Friedheim man accused of accidentally running over girlfriend with truck

A Friedheim man has been accused of acting with criminal negligence when he pulled his truck away too quickly and ran over his girlfriend.

Eric Glueck, 32, was arrested Saturday and charged with second-degree assault.

Glueck was arguing with the victim, and she tried to exit his pickup truck at Lexington Avenue and Perryville Road in Cape Girardeau about 10:30 p.m. Saturday, according to a probable-cause report from Cape Girardeau police officer Jason Angle.

When the victim exited the vehicle, Glueck pulled forward, and she was run over by the rear passenger tire, Angle wrote.

She was found lying in the southwest corner of the intersection and was taken to Saint Francis Medical Center, according to the report.

A witness who saw what happened said Glueck ran up to the victim and asked what happened, Angle wrote.

Glueck admitted to police he had been drinking but said he had only two large beers, according to the report.

Officers administered a field sobriety test, then arrested Glueck on suspicion of second-degree assault.

Glueck's breath test resulted in a blood alcohol content of 0.096 percent, according to the report. The standard for legal intoxication in Missouri is 0.08.

Glueck's bond was set at $10,000 with the condition he not have any contact with the victim.
