BUCKEYE, Ariz. — A Buckeye man has been arrested on suspicion of hitting his girlfriend with his Jeep during a fight outside their home last month, police said.
Adrian Cabrales, 42, was arrested in Avondale this week after he allegedly assaulted his girlfriend on May 26 near Yuma and Rainbow roads.
Buckeye police were dispatched to the scene at about 5:30 p.m. after neighbors reported finding a bleeding woman in the street who was yelling for help.
Court records show the victim sustained skull fractures and significant road rash across her skin. Police said she's continuing to receive medical treatment.
Detectives discovered Cabrales was the registered owner of a Jeep spotted in video surveillance of the May 26 incident.
The suspect allegedly admitted to driving the Jeep and indicated he fled the scene because he was scared, court records show. Cabrales is facing charges of aggravated assault and leaving the scene of a collision.
