Couple fights, crashes cars into own home

VICTORVILLE • A couple apparently used their cars as battering rams, officials said, slamming into the front of their own home during a domestic dispute Wednesday afternoon.

 

The man and woman were both taken into custody for assault with a deadly weapon, according to Deputy Justin Snyder with the San Bernardino County Sheriff Department’s Victorville station.

Neither party was injured, though damage to the home was substantial.

The incident took place shortly after 4 p.m. in the 14500 block of Ponderosa Ranch Road.
 

A passerby who saw the accident called 911. When deputies arrived on the scene, officials said the woman was still in her Ford Expedition while her boyfriend was inside the damaged home on the phone as his Silverado sat outside.
 
 

The woman’s family showed up to the home immediately after the incident. Though they declined to give their names, they said the woman has “never been in trouble before in her life.”
