Good Job to the Officer who shot him with the Taser. Our local officers throughout the county do a fine job apprehending suspects.

Actually, it was a woman from Atascadero that was the passenger and died. I knew her and her family! Very sad…

He also fled and left his dying or dead passenger at the scene. What a world class piece of dirt.

He fled the scene with a broken femur?! Holy crap! PROOF right there that he was on drugs!

Not necessarily proof! (although he was obviously high in this case) But back in the early 80’s there was a group of friends traveling to AZ in a Van, The van flipped and landed on the roof in the middle of no-where. One of the passengers walked over 3 miles to a pay phone, made the emergency call and dropped dead right there! He had a massive head injury and 2 broken legs!!

Adrenaline is mighty powerful!
