He Backed Over His Ex’s Head With A Truck. He’ll Spend Three Weekends In Jail.
Officers responded to reports of a woman being run over by a vehicle in Tacoma, Washington. Upon arrival, officers learned the woman had suffered severe injuries after being dragged beneath a truck. She was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
Investigators said 23-year-old Cameron Boucher was driving a Toyota Tacoma while intoxicated when his ex-girlfriend fell to the ground behind the vehicle. Authorities said Boucher backed over the woman’s head and dragged her face across the pavement while continuing to reverse.
According to court documents, a friend who witnessed the incident told investigators the victim was “screaming very loudly” while Boucher continued backing up. The witness said they yelled and banged on the truck window trying to get him to stop.
“Boucher continued to back over her head,” court documents stated.
Authorities said Boucher eventually pulled the truck forward slightly, allowing the witness to pull the victim from underneath the vehicle. Another person at the scene reportedly chased Boucher, fought him, and held him down until officers arrived.
Investigators said Boucher had allegedly been drinking “dark liquor shots” at a nearby bar before the incident. Authorities stated the victim suffered multiple facial fractures, substantial bodily harm, and other serious injuries.
In a victim statement, the woman said, “My scalp had been dragged across concrete. My left ear was torn up. Bruises covered my legs. A deep laceration on the right side of my head required 9 staples. I couldn’t work for over a month.”
At the time of the incident, Boucher was employed as a probationary corrections deputy in Pierce County. Officials later removed him from the position following his arrest.
“He wasn’t just some guy out partying,” the victim wrote. “He was a law enforcement officer in training. A corrections deputy. He knew the law. He knew what DUI meant. And he broke that law anyway. He chose to gamble with someone else’s life. My life.”
Prosecutors later stated both Boucher and the victim had been intoxicated during the incident and described the woman as an initiator or willing participant in the events leading up to the assault, which factored into the state’s sentencing recommendation.
On May 15, 2026, Boucher pleaded guilty to vehicular assault DUI, reckless driving, and driving with disregard for the safety of others.
On May 20, 2026, a Pierce County judge sentenced Boucher to 10 days in jail to be served over three weekends. Prosecutors had recommended no additional jail time beyond the two days Boucher already served following his arrest.
