WYOMING, Minn. -- A 37-year-old Wyoming, Minnesota man is in custody after he allegedly fatally ran over a woman with his pickup truck in a domestic incident Thursday evening. On Monday, charges were filed against him.
According to Wyoming Public Safety officials, the incident happened shortly before 10:30 p.m. at a Holiday gas station located at 26720 Kettle River Boulevard. Emergency responders were dispatched to the gas station on the report of a pedestrian being struck by a vehicle.
