The Westminster Police Department said its officers were dispatched for reports of a domestic disturbance in the Hyland Greens neighborhood around 10:45 a.m. on Aug. 30.
According to the arrest affidavit, Curran's ex-girlfriend and her mother were inside the mother's home when they heard a "bomb sound" and felt the house move. The two went outside and discovered that Curran had allegedly rammed his Acura into the home and two vehicles that were parked out front.
The arrest affidavit states Curran drove off as the ex-girlfriend ran inside to call 911. Curran allegedly drove up the street to an unrelated house and rammed his vehicle into the garage, damaging the garage and two vehicles.
Curran then drove back to his ex-girlfriend's mother's house, according to the arrest affidavit. While the mother was out surveying the damage, Curran reportedly began driving toward her.
Court documents state the mother ran through the yard and toward the street as Curran followed her in his vehicle. Curran allegedly yelled, "I am going to f*cking kill you," as he chased the mother down.
The mother made it into the garage as Curran drove his vehicle "straight up the driveway and into the house," according to the affidavit. The crash disabled the vehicle, which became stuck inside the front of the house.
The affidavit states that Curran was able to exit the vehicle after a few minutes. He then allegedly grabbed a ski and started "swinging it around," striking at least one neighbor.
Neighbors were able to wrestle Curran to the ground and hold him until officers arrived, according to court documents.
No serious injuries were reported, according to police. The damage to the mother's house is estimated to be $200,000, while the damage to the unrelated property is estimated to be $54,000.
