A Greenwood man was arrested after he allegedly ran over a man with his truck following an argument. Joseph Michael Baker, 26, of Greenwood, was charged with murder in the death of Duane Begley, 23.
The incident occurred on April 14 near 500 West and US 52 in New Palestine. According to court documents, several witnesses heard Baker and Begley arguing before Baker allegedly ran over Begley, Fox59 reported.
Court documents state that Baker saw Begley in a van with his ex-wife. Baker then admitted to rear ending the van and getting in a fight with Begley. Baker told police that Begley had a knife and was attempting to cut the tires on his truck. Baker says he drove after Begley in an attempt to scare him, but he accidentally dropped the clutch and ran over him instead.
Begley was flown by air ambulance to Methodist Hospital, and he died from his injuries on April 17.
