TRUMANN, Ark. (KAIT) - A Trumann woman is facing a murder-2nd degree and DWI charges after police say she backed over her mother with a vehicle Thursday.
Kimberly Coulter, 56, of Trumann was arrested Friday in the case, according to Trumann Police Chief Jon Redman.
Officers went to a call Thursday about a person being struck by a vehicle in the 200 block of Speedway Street. Officers later found out Coulter was intoxicated when the incident happened, Redman said.
HIBBING â An Iron Range man facing vehicular homicide charges will have to wait until at least next week to find out if heâs headed back to custody after being arrested for suspicion of DWI last month.
Thomas Michael Gilley of Hibbing was charged in December 2020 with vehicular homicide after he allegedly drove head-on into another vehicle one month earlier while under the influence of a controlled substance. On March 18, 2021, he was reportedly involved in a single-vehicle accident on Town Line Road in Hibbing, where law enforcement obtained a warrant for blood sample after he crashed into power lines and sustained apparent minor injuries.
