A Farmington man was arrested after hitting four people with a pickup truck after a family scuffle, police say.<\/p>\n

Ashton Padilla, 20, was charged with four counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon after he reportedly hit and injured three people with his pickup truck, then struck a pickup and injured a woman inside.<\/p>\n

Farmington Police were called to the scene at 9:22 a.m. Thursday at 810 Hope Ave., where they found \u201cJacob Foutch lying face down on the east side of Hope (Avenue) just south of the driveway,\u201d according to the statement of probable cause.<\/p>\n

Foutch\u2019s daughter, Lillith, was sitting next to him in the street.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was crying, and it appeared she had injuries to her legs and face,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

A man identified as James Padilla appeared to have an injury to his right leg, while a youth sitting in a pickup truck, injured her face \u201cwhen Ashton rammed them all,\u201d police wrote in the statement.<\/p>\n

Police determined that Ashton Padilla was driving so fast that the collision set off the air bags and pushed the vehicle 40 feet. \u201cIt takes a lot of force and speed to move a parked car that far,\u201d police observed in the probable cause statement.<\/p>\n

According to police, Ashton said he was in \u201ca grappling\/wrestling fight\u201d with his brother James Padilla, and Lillith reportedly \u201cwas kicking Ashton in the head.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ashton reportedly told police he left but returned and said Foutch \u201cstarted to run toward him as he drove toward the driveway,\u201d so \u201che ran over Jacob,\u201d according to the statement of probable cause.<\/p>\n

Ashton also reportedly said that he \u201cfelt threatened by\u201d Foutch, even though \u201che did not see any weapons,\u201d according to the police statement.<\/p>\n

Police reported that \u201cAshton asked if Jacob was dead,\u201d and when he found out he was \u201cseriously injured,\u201d he allegedly \u201cstated he would not have been sad if Jacob died.\u201d<\/p>\n

Foutch did suffer \u201cserious injuries to his hips,\u201d and was transported to San Juan Regional Medical Center for treatment along with Lillith, James and the youth..<\/p>\n

Padilla\u2019s preliminary hearing is set for 9 a.m. May 22 in Farmington Magistrate Court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
