Big picture view:

A criminal complaint filed in Sibley County states that law enforcement responded to a reported accident near County Road 17 and 310th Street on Saturday, Nov. 22. 

The caller, Jeremy Micheal Davidson, 48, of Le Sueur, reported that his wife jumped out of a moving truck that he was driving and was run over. 

His wife was then taken to the hospital, where she died. 

The complaint states Davidson was lying on top of a Dodge Ram pickup truck when law enforcement arrived. 

Law enforcement personnel noted that Davidson smelled of alcohol and had slurred speech. 

Davidson reportedly told officers that he and his wife had been drinking that evening and that she started punching him when she got mad. He added that when they were driving home, she "got pissed" and jumped out of the moving truck, according to the complaint.  

Law enforcement said Davidson was not able to track any stimuli during a sobriety test and refused to submit a preliminary breath test. 

Davidson was then arrested and had a blood sample taken after authorities obtained a search warrant. 

He is facing criminal vehicular homicide charges and first-degree DWI.
