KINGMAN – An arrest is reported after a Kingman woman alleged her ex-husband deliberately struck the bike she was riding Saturday afternoon, April 20. Mohave County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) deputies responded to the victim’s residence after being notified a vehicular assault had occurred in the area of Northfield Ave. and Tommie Dr.
“She advised that she had been struck by a vehicle,” said MCSO Public Information Officer Anita Mortensen. “The victim alleged that while riding her bike she heard a vehicle accelerating and saw a white SUV driven by her ex-husband.”
The woman reportedly claimed the vehicle clipped the rear wheel of her bicycle, sending her flying over the handlebars and onto the ground.
Mortensen said deputies observed injuries consistent with her account. She said a look at the collision scene and the vehicle provided additional corroborating evidence.
Mortensen said the subject in question, Michael Gadjoyan, 36, Kingman, provided inconsistent stories when interviewed about his involvement. She said he was arrested and booked into the Adult Detention Center for aggravated assault and endangerment.
