Marion man accused of striking woman with vehicle

​​A Marion man is behind bars after he allegedly struck an ex-girlfriend with her vehicle.

Dustin Earl Harriman, 35, is in the Flathead County Detention Center on a $75,000 bond after the July 16 incident at a Pleasant Valley Road residence outside Marion.

According to charging documents, two Flathead County sheriff's deputies spoke with the victim at Logan Health Whitefish where she was being treated for her injuries.

The victim said Harriman came to her home to get a tool and then asked for a ride to a friend's house. Harriman then allegedly got into her vehicle and struck her with it, and she fell down. She said she was lying on the ground when one of the tires nearly ran her over.

Harriman pleaded not guilty at a July 29 arraignment. His next court hearing was set for January.
