MEMPHIS, Tennessee — A man has been arrested after police say he tried to drive his truck through a crowd of protesters in Overton Square Saturday night.

According to Memphis Police, at approximately 9:30 p.m., a crowd was gathered at the intersection of Madison and Cooper, when a man driving a white pickup truck tried to drive through.

Police Charged the driver, 56-year-old William Day, with reckless endangerment and reckless driving.

Day told investigators that as he approached the intersection, he tried to pass through the crowd, but was approached and struck in the face.

Another white guy...more misdemeanor charges! 🤬

The article goes on to say he is "expected" in court tomorrow, meaning they let him out or he was never jailed.

2. Right!

This is the second one in about a week. The first hit 4 people, one of whom was(is?) hospitalzed! Same charges which are misdemeanors in this state! 🤬

3. Hit In The Face!

Before he ran into the crowd!
Yeah, sure.
I question his veracity.

4. Absolutely, Professor!

This is in Memphis. Likely someone's relative or a business owner. Not joking, sadly. 🤬
