A Minnesota man driving to couple’s therapy with his now-arrested ex-girlfriend told police that after a rocky morning spent arguing at home and then announcing he wanted to break up with her while they were in the car, things really took a turn for the worst when she allegedly forced him out of the vehicle and then “floored it” in order to run him over.
Veronica Roleen Gast, 30, faces second-degree assault charges, according to a police affidavit obtained by Law&Crime on Wednesday. She is also charged with criminal vehicular operation – bodily harm, gross negligence, and domestic assault.
The Fergus Falls Police Department said Gast hit the man, who is not identified publicly, on Aug. 10 just before 1 p.m.
According to police, Gast and the man both said that they spent the morning intensely arguing and that they were in the car on the way to therapy when things hit a fever pitch. But that’s where the stories started to diverge.
Gast’s alleged victim said when he told the woman their relationship was over, she “stopped her car in the traffic lane” and then he got out of the car. Records show he told police that he had asked her to take him back home and she allegedly refused. The man told Minnesota authorities that he obliged, got out of the car and started to cross in front of it as he made his way to a sidewalk.
But as he crossed in front of the vehicle, he and Gast caught each other’s eyes, the man said.
Momentarily, he said, they locked eyes, “like you would with a bus driver” as they crossed paths in traffic. The man said she then abruptly hit the gas and “floored” it.

She has those crazy eyes.
The therapist might need to reconsider the approach with this pair.
Far right on the hot/crazy matrix.
Irreconcilable differences?
Not guilty.
I can’t figure out who is the dumbest of the two? He walks in front of the car before she pulls away or her for running him over.
Hood rat?
That mugshot says “I don’t care.”
I'd say so...
Ya gotta figure it’s not easy for a woman to start over from square one in relationships, even an attractive one. Attractiveness may even be a burden as they expect more. Plenty of guys available out there but when reality sets in it they’re more disappointed as the men who walk out don’t look back.
I don’t think therapy is the answer for this couple. Separate jail cells may work but barring that solution, one of them needs to move out of state. And they need to lose each other’s number.
Counseling does not change anyone’s heart which is what is needed. It may change behavior for a time.
Hearts were revealed in this situation by the behavior.
“Not guilty”
Well, I guess it’s true.....beauty IS in the eye of the beholder.....cuz I ain’t seeing it.
The therapist might need to reconsider his career choice...............
Not only are they crazy the left one is higher up on her head.
left=right. Coffee....lol. Opposite world this week!
Everyone's heard of Darwin Awards, but how about a Deer-in-the-headlights award?
Would anyone be surprised if the therapist is rolling in the bucks?
