Wife escapes living room truck smash

When David E. Monroe asked his wife to sit by the window in their living room on Sunday evening, she suspected that something might be up.

'I'll be right back', 51-year-old allegedly reassured her, before going outside.



Her suspicion that something untoward might be going on was seemingly confirmed when, shortly after, Monroe drove his Ford pickup truck through the large window, right where Carolyn Monroe had been sitting.

The truck came to a stop in the room. Mrs. Monroe and her daughter, quite wisely, had fled through the back door.

Mr. Monroe has been jailed in Yorktown, Indiana, on preliminary charges of attempted murder, disorderly conduct and criminal recklessness with a vehicle.
