When the story starts "victim states he was riding around and drinking with suspect," it usually has nowhere to go but downhill. What happened to a Wilkes man Friday night is true-to-form. After some time of riding and drinking, Tyrone Henderson and Squire Evans -- you guessed it -- got into an argument. They ended up out at the end of Damascus Church Road. Evans told Henderson to get out of the car. Henderson refused. More argument ensued, until, as the deputy writes it, "both parties exited the vehicle."



At this point Evans jumps back in the car and starts to speed off. But to add injury to insult, he slams the car into reverse and backs over Henderson, breaking his ankle. Evans is reported to then step out of the car, look at the victim (presumably saying some things that aren't recorded), get back in, and drive off. It's not clear who called 9-1-1, but when EMS arrived, Henderson was still laying in the middle of the road, about 15 feet of black tire marks clearly pointing the way to him. Evans has since been served with a warrant for Assault With A Deadly Weapon.
