A Wallace man has been charged with a felony after he allegedly tried to run down his son-in-law with a vehicle.

At around 8:20 p.m. on Monday, Deputies with the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office responded to Garrison Avenue in Wallace.

According to the Sheriff’s Department, 42-year-old Lawrence Kidd reported that his father-in-law, 66-year-old Ted Evans, had attempted to run him over with a vehicle.  Kidd said Evans had intentionally struck him with the vehicle.

Upon arrival, Deputies spoke with Kidd, his wife and several other witnesses, who stated that Evans was very angry and drove through the backyard of their residence and into a neighbor’s yard.  Kidd said he went to talk to the neighbors about the damage to their yard and was walking back to his house when Evans drove toward him at a high rate of speed.

Kidd said he was able to get out of the way, but his left arm was struck by the vehicle.  He was treated by Wallace EMS and refused further treatment.

Deputies say it appears Evans was angry that Kidd was again living with his daughter.  They say Kidd was recently released from the Lincoln County Detention Center for a Domestic Violence charge.

Deputies located Evans at his home and placed him under arrest on a charge of 2nd Degree Assault, a felony.

Evans was incarcerated at the Lincoln County Detention Center.
