These images show how a man crashed his car into a shop after arguing with his girlfriend, who was in the passenger’s seat.

The incident took place when the suspect allegedly crashed into the Midway Mini Mart, which is located in the town of Whitefish, in the US state of Montana.

The suspect, named in local media reports as Shawn Allan Norby, 40, has been charged with felony criminal endangerment and faces 10 years in prison if convicted.

The shop owner, named in local reports as Vic Workman, was on the premises along with his son Riley when the incident occurred. There was also one other employee in the shop as well as six customers.

Workman told local media that the cops believe the suspect was driving between 60 and 70 mph when the car crashed into the shop. He also said that Norby had been arguing with his girlfriend, who has not been named but who was a passenger in the vehicle, shortly before veering into the store.

He then reportedly jumped out of the car and shouted “I want to die”.

Workman believes that about USD 30,000 (GBP 21,962) in damage has been done to his shop. No one was injured in the incident.

Workman said: “That’s all just stuff.”

He added: “As long as no one got hurt, that’s the main thing.”
