    This is in regards to the Taco in Portland that ran over some dudes. I’ve been wondering about an update on what happened. The original thread got locked. After some googling I found the driver was caught. However that’s all the article says. Anyone have more info or a better news article.

    Here is a link to the original thread: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...ic-tacoma-being-driven-runs-over-kids.587698/

    Here is a link to the article I found with an update:

    Exactly why I want to know more. Lol. I googled the guy who was arrested and it lead me to a bunch of articles. Says he was at the court house for an unrelated matter and arrested. His truck was seized. However no info on the back story

    Maybe if we're lucky, he was a member of TW and will make a thread discussing his side. The whole thing is easily still being investigated and it will probably be awhile before we get any new info. I'm sure they've identified the "Innocent" pedestrians already. Weird that nothing has been pushed out in a press release. Then again not sure how big of a case this is.

    Was there really someone who said that...did they post pics. We need to do some investigative work for the Police. You think you can handle questioning him? I'm gonna go for a run on the beach and think about it. I'm sure it will help since that's what all the actors do in movies. When I think of something Ill get back to you.

    My guess is you probably won’t see the rest of the story in the headlines. Even if the police figure it out. Everyone involved was pretty young. My guess is a drug deal gone bad. Would be interesting to see if it’s a TW member, but I doubt even if it was that they would fill us in on what really happened.
