LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A couple’s reported harassment over a pro-Donald Trump yard sign led to a shooting and a man having his foot run over, according to documents the 8 News Now Investigators obtained.

Jennifer Lund, 38; and Timothy Parks, 45, face charges of assault, battery, and stalking, documents said.

On Oct. 13, Lund and Parks were driving and listening to a song about the former president titled “[Expletive] Donald Trump” when they decided to park in front of a home with a pro-Trump sign, police said. The exact location of the incident was redacted in court documents, but a ZIP code indicates it happened in the far northwest valley.

“Parks parked his Tesla in front of the residence with Lund in the passenger seat… [playing] the song ‘[Expletive] Donald Trump,’” documents said. Seconds later, three men approached the vehicle — with one man later punching Parks.

Detectives obtained surveillance video, which they said showed three men outside the car at the time, documents said. One of the men then took out a gun and pointed it at the car. The car then drives off, running over one man’s foot, the video shows according to police.

At least seven bullets impacted the car, police said.

“Lund stated since [the people] put the Trump sign in their yard, she feels like she has every right to tell them how she feels about it,” police said in court documents.

“Lund advised this was not the first time she went to that house to play the ‘[Expletive] Donald Trump’ song. Lund states she hates Donald Trump and hates every person who represents or votes for him.”

One of the victims told police Lund was screaming at him when the car approached the house, police said. The man then reportedly punched Parks. Parks then drove off, reversed, and ran over the man’s foot, officers said.

The person who fired the gun said he felt his life was threatened, so he fired. He did not face charges as of Thursday.

According to police, Lund harassed the homeowners several times before.

Las Vegas Justice Court Judge Rebecca Saxe set bail for both Lund and Parks at $20,000. Both defendants remained in custody as of Thursday.
