A Culdesac man, Brian D. Grimm, has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly running over his roommate, Michael S. Dranichak, with his vehicle. The incident occurred on Friday afternoon in Culdesac, Idaho. Grimm is accused of using his car to strike Dranichak three times following an argument between the two.
Dranichak was taken to St. Joseph Regional Medical Center, where he received treatment and was later released. The incident was reported by a witness who claimed to have seen Grimm run over Dranichak in a Ford car. When law enforcement arrived at the scene, Grimm had already fled in his vehicle.
Dranichak told authorities that he confronted Grimm after being left with the groceries in Lapwai and having to walk home. According to the witness, a verbal altercation between the two men escalated, leading to Grimm allegedly running over Dranichak multiple times. The witness reported seeing Dranichak under the car and Grimm in the driver’s seat during the incident.
Grimm was later apprehended by law enforcement, and the vehicle involved in the incident was found with damage consistent with the witness’s account. During questioning, Grimm admitted to being in a dispute with Dranichak and expressed a desire for him to be dead. He claimed that he continued to hit Dranichak because he kept getting up and coming towards him.
Grimm appeared before Magistrate Judge Sunil Ramalingam at the Nez Perce County Courthouse, where he was given a $500,000 bond. The prosecution argued for the high bond due to the seriousness of the allegations, while Grimm’s attorney argued for his release without bond based on his connections to the area. The charge of attempted murder carries a maximum penalty of 15 years incarceration and a $50,000 fine.
This case highlights the importance of handling disputes in a non-violent manner and seeking alternative solutions to conflicts. It also serves as a reminder of the potential consequences of resorting to violence in interpersonal relationships. The legal process will now determine Grimm’s guilt or innocence in this attempted murder case..
