What started out as a trip to the Twin Cities last month ended with a Clara City couple running for their lives from a man who is accused of threatening them with a nail-studded board, chasing them with his pickup and repeatedly ramming their vehicle -- all while screaming racially vile and profane words at them.

..William Richard Dugan.

Dugan, 53, of Grove City, is in custody in Meeker County in lieu of $500,000 bail. He faces multiple felony assault charges after the Nov. 19 incident on U.S. Highway 12 just west of Grove City.

..Dugan parked his pickup across both lanes of U.S. 12 on the afternoon of Nov. 19, reportedly so that he could look for his dogs.

Several vehicles drove around the pickup on the shoulder of the road, but when Ricardo and Lynette Rounds tried to drive their car around the pickup, they said Dugan put his truck into gear and their vehicles collided.

In June, Dugan was convicted of biting a deputy who was handcuffing Dugan for another incident.

Lynette Rounds said she hopes Dugan serves jail time.
