SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- The honeymoon didn't last long. James Olwine, 33, is accused of trying to run over his new wife after a weekend wedding in Las Vegas.

Police received an emergency call from someone reporting a couple fighting in a car Monday as they traveled on Highland Drive, about 10 miles southeast of Salt Lake City.

Katie Martindale, 29, apparently got out of the car and started to walk away when Olwine drove off the road and hit her with the car, pushing her into a snowbank, said Lt. Paul Jaroscak, a spokesman for the Salt Lake County sheriff's office.

Martindale was not seriously injured but might have a broken leg, Jaroscak said.

Olwine was booked into the county jail on charges of aggravated assault with a vehicle, the lieutenant said.

"We have a wedding certificate for (March) 4th. They were still honeymooning when he ran her over," Jaroscak said.

Both have jail records and are "well known to the sheriff's office," he said.

No way substance abuse was a factor here:

WHEW!!!

They're BOTH excessively guilty of many, many violations. And if they get any less photogenic, they should have to do hard time.

They were still honeymooning when he ran her over

Gives new meaning to "the honeymoon's over!"

[dakine]

Is that picture before or after she was run over?

I guess it wasn't a match made in heaven.

They're just two crazy kids who can't get over each other.

Olwine was booked into the county jail on charges of aggravated assault with a vehicle...

That's all?

[rellimpank]

--I think I met that girl about thirty years ago, one night---

[dfwgator]

Looks like somebody else assaulted her with an ugly stick.

[Tijeras_Slim]

What were they fighting over? Who gets to wear the bag?

Love isn't supposed to hurt...

[NRA1995]

Looks like they missed on at least 28 of the 29 levels of deep compatibility that E-Harmony talks about

Katie Martindale, 29...

Hah! That's a Match.com "29" if I've ever seen one. ;)

At least they saved two other poor souls from having to live with them.
