7/28 Bartlesville, OK Co-Worker Escorting Victim Employee Run Down by Abuser

Joel Don Harmon, 30, was charged with allegedly running down another man with his car. While this incident did not happen at work, it stemmed from a co-worker trying to help another. Harmon went to his girlfriend’s workplace at 12:30 a.m and began screaming at her. He was then escorted by security from the facility. But when it was time for the woman to go home, a co-worker offered to follow her home to ensure her safety. It was there that Harmon confronted her again in the driveway. She demanded that he leave which he did. The co-worker escort was standing in the driveway when Harmon struck him as he drove out. Harmon waited at the scene a few blocks down till police arrived: he claimed that the man struck his windshield, breaking it with his hand. Responding officers felt that this was unlikely.

He didn't break the windshield with his hand, it was his elbow. It was an accident that ruined Joel's life, because he was charged with a felony. The individual who was "struck" by the vehicle jumped on the hood on the vehicle and litterally attacked the vehicle, trying to break the windshield. Why would Joel call police if he had ran someone down? He called police from a safe location, because he didn't know what the TWO men that had tried to attack him would do.
