BELLINGHAM, Wash. — Bellingham Police were dispatched about 8:15pm on September 17th to the 300 block of S State Street due to reports of a physical domestic altercation between a man and a woman.
According to the affidavit of probable cause filed in Whatcom County Superior Court, officers arrived to find that a group approached a man and woman engaged in a verbal argument and started attacking the man. While the man was fist fighting with the group, the woman reportedly drove a vehicle into the group in an attempt to help him, officers were told.
Members of the group told officers they were walking past when the man began to assault them and then the woman drove at them while they were defending themselves. Witnesses reported the woman made multiple attempts to drive at the group.
The group declined to press charges against the man but did want to press charges against the woman, identified as Naomi Lynn Miller, age 39 and of Blaine. Miller was arrested without incident and was booked into Whatcom County Jail.
