A Los Angeles man faces seven felony charges related to a domestic violence case in which he is accused of beating his wife in her Menifee home on Monday and running her over with her car, police said.

Menifee Police Department officers responded at 1 a.m. to a call of domestic violence in the 20000 block of La Prada Way, according to a Menifee PD news release. Officers located a woman who had visible injuries to her face and body. She reported there had been a physical altercation with her husband, who was later identified as Jimmy Lopez, 43, of Los Angeles. The victim said Lopez stole her vehicle and ran her over with it before fleeing the scene.

The victim, whose identity has not been released, was transported to a local hospital for treatment of unspecified injuries and was given an Emergency Protection Order.

During an investigation, detectives located Lopez and the victim’s vehicle in Los Angeles. Lopez was taken into custody without incident on Wednesday by members of the U.S. Marshals Task Force, Riverside County Gang Impact Team, and Menifee PD.

Lopez faces charges including attempted murder, felony spousal abuse, assault with a deadly weapon, destruction of a wireless communication device, battery with great bodily injury, an active parole violation arrest warrant, and a felony no-bail warrant for being a felon in possession of a firearm. According to police, Lopez is also a documented 18th Street Gang member from Los Angeles.

Lopez was booked without bail into the Southwest Detention Center, where faces a court date on Friday in Murrieta.
