Jonathon Salas allegedly put his girlfriend on the hood of his SUV and drove on I-85 in Gwinnett County.
If this guy isn’t single now, he should be. When he gets out of jail, that is.
A Gwinnett County man was arrested Tuesday afternoon after allegedly putting his girlfriend on the hood of his SUV and ignoring her screams as he drove on I-85, Channel 2 Action News reported. But other drivers couldn’t help but notice the woman and are credited with helping her to safety, police told Channel 2.
Others on I-85 called 911, took pictures of the woman’s ordeal and surrounded the SUV until the driver was forced to pull over.
“We start motioning to each other, like can you believes this,” Adam Marlatt, a witness, told Channel 2. “One guy is showing me he’s taking pictures. He can tell I’m on the phone. And, I kind of mouthed to him, I’m on with 911.”
Thanks to the Good Samaritans, the SUV finally stopped near the Mall of Georgia and officers quickly arrived and arrested the driver, Jonathon Lozano Salas. The woman, whose name was not released, was not seriously injured.
Salas, 29, of a Lawrenceville arrest, was charged with aggravated assault, reckless conduct and simple battery. He was booked into the Gwinnett County jail, where he remained Thursday night without bond.
If you were in this situation, what would you have done?

She got on hood….stayed there..why? Also, why did he keep speeding while she was on hood? Whatever…too bad both didn’t die. Looks to be like both are losers that society wouldn’t miss.

WHAT DID SHE DO? At least he did not beat her or kill her. Give this man some credit.

I want to know if he was illegally in the HOV Lane. Technically the person has to be in the car.

Since the article said “…allegedly putting his girlfriend on the hood… ” I am wondering is she dumb as bricks for staying on the hood after he put her there before driving off. Or, did she jumped on to stop him from leaving and he decided to gave her the ride of her life?

Hey Vato, hit the brakes she would have come off in the Drive way.

Did he “put” her on the hood with handcuffs? She could have jumped off before he got back in the car. Maybe she “put” herself on the hood and he “put” his pedal to the metal.
