So, what was the truth then?
Drug deal gone bad?
Road Rage?
Pure Stupidity?
Trying to get someone else in trouble?
I thought the story was false the second I read it! I hope he gets the punishment he deserves.
I'm guessing on drug deal gone bad, but any or all of the possibilities anonymous mentioned probably fit the case. According to one report, after the crash he was yelling at the people in the car that he wanted his money back. That's showing a lot of compassion. The Lorain PD detectives probably had a field day guessing what parts (if any) of his original story were true. I'm fairly sure there's more to this story yet to come out.
