UPDATE: Feb. 21 at 1:39 p.m.

New information was shared about the man who reportedly hit another person with his truck outside Cowboys Bar in Great Falls.

According to charging documents, witnesses said they saw the man, John P. Carr, before the crash yelling at the victim about being transgender.

A witness reported that during the confrontation, Carr got into his truck and drove into the victim, pinning her against the building.

The witness said she was standing next to the victim and had to move out of the way so she wouldn't get hit.

When officers arrived at the scene, charging documents say the victim was lying on the ground appearing to be in extreme pain with bodily fluids coming out of her mouth.

Documents report hospital staff said the victim had internal bleeding, a fractured pelvis and an extreme penetrating puncture wound to her left thigh.

Carr fled the scene of the crash and was not identified until the next day after law enforcement received multiple news tips.

Charging documents said when officers located Carr, they saw damage to the passenger-side of the truck's front bumper and a drop of blood near the passenger-side headlight.

In an interview with law enforcement, Carr said he was drinking and was asked to leave the bar after "smacking a girl's butt.”

As he was leaving, Carr reportedly saw the victim and asked, "Are you one of those transgender people?"

Carr has previous convictions in Nevada for domestic battery in 2014 and in Montana for criminal mischief and disorderly conduct in 2009.

John P. Carr has been charged with criminal endangerment and failure to remain at the scene of accident resulting in serious bodily injury.
