A Minnesota man is facing serious charges after an incident on Saturday where he reportedly ran over and killed his wife, who he claims had jumped from his moving vehicle.

Jeremy Michael Davidson, aged 48, is facing accusations of vehicular homicide and driving under the influence, as outlined in a criminal complaint filed against him.

The complaint details that deputies from Sibley County were dispatched in response to a call regarding a potential vehicle accident. Upon arrival, they discovered Davidson’s pickup truck stationary in the roadway, yet still with the engine running. Strangely, Davidson was found lying on top of the vehicle.

Emergency personnel located his wife, Melissa Davidson, aged 46, and she was rushed to a nearby hospital. Tragically, she was pronounced dead upon arrival.

Authorities reported detecting the odor of alcohol on Davidson’s breath and noted his slurred speech. Davidson, who himself had called 911, confessed that both he and his wife had been consuming alcohol and were heading home when a heated argument erupted. According to Davidson, Melissa became angry and started hitting him. He claimed he asked her to stop, after which she allegedly opened the door and leaped out of the truck.

It’s not clear how he might have hit her with the truck when she jumped out of a moving vehicle, but he said in the 911 call that she “jumped out of the vehicle and was run over.”

Deputies said Davidson unable to complete field sobriety tests and refused a breathalyzer test. They later obtained a warrant for a blood sample and sent that off for analysis.

The complaint says that Davidson was very talkative while being transported to jail, saying numerous times that he “killed my wife.”

“Prison. I am going to prison, she’s dead,” he said at one point and “I don’t know why the f*** would you jump out of a truck doing 50 miles per hour. Why would you do that?”

“Just gets drunk, jumps out of a f****** truck,” he said. “Make it make sense.”

At another point, he said he’d “go (to prison) for life. Just bring my wife back.”

According to the complaint, Davidson had a prior DWI conviction in 2007.

According to WBRC, Davidson’s bail was set at $100,000 with conditions and $500,000 without. Law&Crime said he was released from jail on Tuesday with conditions that included electronic monitoring and avoiding alcohol and drugs.

He is due in court again on January 29, 2026.
