An Iva man is in jail on attempted murder charges after authorities said he repeatedly rammed a motor home into his wife's car while she was in it.

Harold Preston Threlkeld Jr., 46, of 515 Leatherdale Road is charged with two counts of attempted murder, according to arrest warrants.

Friday, a man and his wife got into an argument when she told him she was seeking a divorce, said Lt. Sheila Cole, of the Anderson County Sheriff's Office.

The man became aggressive, so his wife left with a friend and drove to a gas station on Flat Rock Road in Starr, where they were planned to file a complaint with police.

While they were waiting, Cole said the man showed up in a large motor home he had borrowed from a friend and began ramming his wife's car, pushing it into the fence at the edge of the parking lot.

The two women were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Threlkeld was arrested and is being held at the Anderson County Detention Center on a $100,000 bond.
