A man from Harrison County was arrested this week on a felony assault charge, after allegedly attempting to push his wife out of their rolling SUV, late last week. The Omaha World-Herald says according to court documents, the wife of a Logan man, 39-year old Shane Vanderlinden, told authorities on Monday, that the couple were traveling north on Interstate 29 late Friday night, en route to her parents’ home, when he started to beat her.

The woman told investigators Vanderlinden eventually pushed her out of their Land Rover on the exit ramp near Loveland, and she landed on the pavement. The vehicle was traveling at around 30-miles per hour at the time. An off-duty officer for the Logan Police Department stopped to help the woman, who was flown to the Nebraska Medical Center, where she was treated for skull fractures, bleeding on the brain, and numerous cuts and bruises.

Vanderlinden was charged with Attempted Murder. He also faces a felony charge of assault-willful injury and domestic aggravated assault. The man was arrested Tuesday and remained in the Pottawattamie County Jail Wednesday, on $50,000 bond.
