RUTHVEN, Iowa | A Spencer, Iowa, man faces attempted murder and other charges after authorities say he held a shotgun to his estranged girlfriend's head and shot her car as she was fleeing from him.

Challer Wadsley, 23, was arrested Monday on charges of attempted murder, intimidation with a dangerous weapon, domestic abuse assault and false imprisonment after Palo Alto County Sheriff's deputies were called to an incident near Ruthven between Wadsley and the woman.

According to court documents, the two got into a dispute at about 3:14 a.m. While Wadsley and the woman sat in her car, Wadley held a .20-gauge shotgun to the woman's head and threatened to shoot her and her parents if they intervened in the dispute, court documents said.

As the woman drove away after Wadsley got out of the car, Wadsley fired one shot at the car, hitting it in the rear bumper, court documents said.
