Thomas is charged in the assault reported around 9:55 p.m. Jan. 29 outside Salem Beverage at 3440 Salem Ave. during which a 29-year-old woman’s right foot was severed at the ankle when she was hit by an SUV. The woman, who reportedly had been Thomas’ girlfriend for a year, also suffered a broken left femur and required 13 stitches to close a laceration to her left thigh, according to an affidavit.
She identified Thomas as the man who was driving the 2013 Kia Soul that struck her, court records stated.
A preliminary investigation indicated the woman got into an argument with her boyfriend, according to the sheriff’s office.
“At one point during the argument the male got into his vehicle and purposely drove into the female, knocking her to the ground,” a statement from the sheriff’s office read.
Thomas is held on $500,000 bail in the Montgomery County Jail.
He was charged Jan. 31 and a warrant was issued for his arrest. He was arrested Monday at a house on Vancouver Drive in Dayton by the sheriff’s office with the assistance of the U.S. Marshals Service and Dayton police.
