Driver charged in Raleigh Christmas Parade death had multiple vehicle inspection citations

Leave a comment

RALEIGH, N.C. — The driver in Saturday’s Raleigh Christmas Parade crash that killed an 11-year-old girl had multiple tickets for vehicle violations.

Virginia court records show show 20-year-old Landen Christopher Glass had a number of non-moving violation tickets on his record, including 4 tickets for failure to have a vehicle inspected, with the most recent on October 30.

Other tickets included improper exhaust systems and no marker lights. The online records do not specify what vehicle Glass received these tickets for.

After the crash Saturday, The Raleigh Police Department arrested and charged Glass with misdemeanor death by motor vehicle, careless and reckless, improper equipment, unsafe movement, and carrying a firearm in a parade.

A family member told WRAL News that Glass will not be making a statement. Glass was released on bond and carries a first court date of Jan. 26.

Posts on Glass’s Instagram profile showed him participating in dance competitions representing CC & Company Dance Complex in 2018. It is not known in what capacity he is affiliated with the company as of 2022.

His social media pages also indicate that he owned a vehicle customization company and spent a lot of time working on his pickup truck.

A tragedy at the Raleigh Christmas Parade

An out-of-control pickup truck pulling a parade float hit a girl performing with CC & Company Dance Complex, a group that has performed in the parade in the past.

The girl was taken to the hospital, where she was declared dead. Her name was not released.

Video taken from the scene shows the truck as it began to lose control, gaining speed as it blared its horn. Some people scattered out of its way, while others raced towards the truck, trying to stop it from running into the parade patrons ahead of it.

Witnesses told WRAL News the driver of the white pickup truck pulling the CC & Co. Dance float was yelling that he had lost his brakes and could not stop. The truck then careened into the dancers as adults hustled them out of the road.

“All of a sudden we looked up and saw a truck on the other side of the road kind of coming towards us,” said Worth Creech, an eyewitness. “They were able to get most of the girls out of the way. Unfortunately, we saw one of the girls get run over.”

She said the truck was on a decline, seemingly pushed downhill by the weight of the float behind it.

Man arrested for throwing beer can at Sen. Ted Cruz at World Series parade claims his actions were non-violent

Leave a comment

The man who threw a beer can at U.S. Senator Ted Cruz during the Houston Astros World Series victory parade has been arrested, the Houston Police Department announced Monday. He was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and released on $40,000 bond.

“The beer can struck the Senator in the chest/neck area,” read a tweet from Houston police. “The Senator did not require medical attention.”

The incident happened Monday as the Astros celebrated their 2022 championship after defeating the Philadelphia Phillies 4-2 in the series. The parade stretched out three miles through downtown Houston —  roughly twice the length of the parade route for their 2017 championship celebration.

Sen. Cruz, who lives in the Houston area, attended several of the World Series games and the celebration. He was in the back of a military vehicle waving at the crowd in the parade. A video on social media shows the crowd booing Cruz, and eventually a can is seen flying straight at him. 

“As always I’m thankful for the Houston Police and Capitol Police for their quick action. I’m also thankful that the clown who threw his White Claw had a noodle for an arm,” Cruz tweeted.

The man arrested was identified as 33-year-old Joseph Halm Arcidiacono. Court documents filed by prosecutors accuse Arcidiacono with having “used and exhibited a deadly weapon, namely an unopened metal beverage can,” to intentionally hit the senator.

The NBC affiliated Houston station reported that a witness watched Arcidiacono run up towards a barrier wall at the parade. After the incident, the witness then grabbed Arcidiacono while he tried to run away. Per the report, a prosecutor said Arcidiacono told officers, “I know, I’m an idiot. I’m sorry,” while he was being detained.

On Wednesday, Arcidiacono’s legal team claimed that it was all a misunderstanding. Arcidiacono’s attorney, Bill Stradley, released a statement saying that his client wasn’t trying to be violent. Instead, according to Stradley, Arcidiacono was attempting a friendly gesture by tossing the senator a drink to celebrate. 

“The night before the parade, Joey texted a friend, ‘My dream would be to throw one of the players a beer. Doubt it would happen haha but that would be epic,” the statement reads

Stradley pointed out that fans throw beverages to people in championship parades all the time “to get them to chug.” 

“This was stupid, good fun. This ended up as not fun,” the statement reads. “Joey apologizes for how his actions alarmed Senator Cruz, his family, and his security detail and put a damper on an otherwise beautiful celebration for millions of Houstonians. With this fuller context, we ask for grace and hope Senator Cruz declines to maintain charges.”

Man arrested after Sen. Ted Cruz hit by ‘White Claw’ at Houston Astros parade

Leave a comment

Comment

Houston police arrested a man accused of throwing an alcoholic beverage can at Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) during the World Series victory parade for the Houston Astros on Monday.

The can, which authorities said contained beer but the senator identified as the hard seltzer White Claw, hit Cruz around his chest and neck, according to police. The senator, 51, did not need medical attention.

The 33-year-old who allegedly threw the can at Cruz was taken to jail and faces assault charges, according to police.

“As always I’m thankful for the Houston Police and Capitol Police for their quick action,” Cruz tweeted. “I’m also thankful that the clown who threw his White Claw had a noodle for an arm.”

Cruz is no stranger to being confronted in public. He has been heckled at a Houston sushi restaurant over his stance on gun control, and grilled at an Italian eatery in Washington, D.C., about his friendship with Brett Kavanaugh, who was a nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court at the time.

Politicians and other government officials have been attacked in public before: Eggs, pies, books, shoes and glitter bombs are some common items.

But researchers say the current political climate is unique.

“I am seeing something different this time,” said Spencer Overton, a law professor at George Washington University.

He said America is experiencing cultural anxiety like never before, and people are engaging in political violence to preserve their identity.

Videos posted online show the crowd booing Cruz during another stretch of the parade.

In the deep-red state, Joe Biden won Harris County — which includes Houston — by more than 10 points in the 2020 presidential election.

Harris County also has hosted some of the fiercest political fights in Texas, including Republicans deploying election monitors to oversee the handling of ballots. Democrats worry the monitors might intimidate voters, but Republicans say they are trying to secure the integrity of the vote.

Tensions are high locally and nationally ahead of the midterm elections Tuesday.

One in five adults in the United States would be willing to tolerate acts of political violence, according to a survey of 8,500 people led by Garen J. Wintemute, the director of the UC Davis Violence Prevention Program and an emergency room physician.

And while there is a step between condoning and committing political violence, Wintemute said support for violence creates a climate of acceptance for violence. “I expect to see sporadic acts of violence around the midterm election,” he said.

A database released by Princeton University last month tracked 400 instances of political violence against government officials.

“One of our takeaways is that people use political violence and threats as a political strategy, instead of using ballot boxes,” said Joel Day, a research director of the database. “Threats and violence are never only about the official they are focused on. They are designed for discouraging people from participating in the democratic process.”

Darrell Brooks: Man who drove SUV into Waukesha Christmas parade found guilty of intentional homicide

Leave a comment



CNN
 — 

Darrell Brooks was found guilty of six counts of first-degree intentional homicide on Wednesday for driving his SUV into a crowd of Christmas parade attendees in Waukesha, Wisconsin, last November, killing six people and wounding dozens more.

He faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison for the convictions.

Brooks, 40, also was convicted of 61 counts of recklessly endangering safety with the use of a dangerous weapon, six counts of fatal hit and run, two counts of felony bail jumping and one count of misdemeanor domestic battery – a clean sweep for the prosecution.

Brooks represented himself in court and has been combative throughout the trial, repeatedly speaking over the judge to make inane and outlandish arguments. Yet as the stream of guilty verdicts were read Wednesday, he looked down, put his head on his hands and sat silently.

The trial comes less than a year after he drove a red SUV through the crowd in Waukesha’s Christmas parade on November 21, killing an 8-year-old boy and several members of the “Dancing Grannies” group.

Brooks had been released from jail less than two weeks prior in a domestic abuse case, on a $1,000 bail that prosecutors later acknowledged was “inappropriately low.” In that case, he allegedly ran over a woman who said she’s the mother of his child, according to court documents.

Prosecutors said in closing arguments Tuesday he intentionally drove through the crowd at significant speeds and hit 68 individual parade-goers, turning a joyous afternoon into a horrific one.

“He reached speeds of approximately 30 mph. That’s intentional. He plowed through 68 different people. 68. How can you hit one and keep going? How can you hit two and keep going?” Waukesha County District Attorney Susan Opper said.

“His intent I do have to prove, and I submit without any doubt there’s overwhelming evidence that this was an intentional act by Darrell Brooks and an act of utter disregard for human life.”

In his own closing arguments, Brooks attempted to raise questions about the vehicle and about his intent. He repeatedly said there had been “misconceptions” and “lies” told about him during the trial.

“I’ve never heard of someone trying to intentionally hurt someone while attempting to blow their horn while attempting to alert people of their presence,” Brooks said.

Jurors deliberated on Tuesday night for just under two hours and then resumed again on Wednesday morning.

In court, a series of videos and witnesses detailed the disturbing sights of the SUV ramming through the parade route.

“The band had just passed us, a red SUV … going maybe 30, 40 miles per hour, just went straight over the Waukesha South (high school) band,” said Kyle Jewell, a spectator who tried unsuccessfully to catch up to the SUV to stop it. “And it’s not like it stopped, it went over … it looked like it went in the air, like over a pretty big object, and it was just like a big old speed bump and kept going.”

Nicole White, who prosecutors said was the first person struck by Brooks’ vehicle, testified she sustained injuries to her spine and tailbone and suffered ligament damage to her right knee.

“I just remember being struck by the vehicle from behind on my back and then I fell to my knees and kind of rolled under the vehicle,” White said.

Brooks’ trial has been marked by his unusual decision to represent himself in court and his persistent disruptions. Throughout the trial, he has spoken over prosecutors and the judge, asked vague questions, challenged the court’s jurisdiction and declared “Darrell Brooks” is not his name.

Judge Jennifer Dorow has repeatedly removed Brooks from the court for his outbursts and placed him in a nearby courtroom, where he can communicate via a monitor and microphone which is most often muted.

On Tuesday, after removing him for the prosecution’s closing arguments due to interruptions, she called him “stubbornly defiant.”

“He continues to not respect the fact that a ruling has been made, and he wants to argue and reargue and reargue points that this court has already gone over,” she said.

Brooks previously pleaded not guilty by insanity, but his public defenders withdrew the insanity plea in September. The attorneys later filed a motion to withdraw from the case, and the judge ruled to allow Brooks to represent himself at trial.

Opper, the prosecuting attorney, told jurors in her closing arguments not to be distracted in their deliberations by Brooks’ conduct during the trial.

“You must not, not, not consider anything about Darrell Brooks other than his conduct in downtown Waukesha on the evening of November 21, 2021,” Opper told the jury. “Nothing he’s done before that, nothing he’s done since that. When you go back to that deliberation room, please obey Judge Dorow. Confine your comments to his conduct on November 21.”
