Reply to comment by Hot-toddy1234 in Hit and run at Taqueria Downtown at Grand and Grove by AmeliaHeff
Live across the street & turned on the police scanner after the action. Dispatch didn't come through until 11:07 (a couple minutes after an ambulance & ~7 minutes after this post ) & then it was described as a fight.
Cops show 11:10 & it's not until 11:40 that the situation is clarified to list two pedestrians struck as well as structural damage to Taqueria & it's reclassified as an aggravated assault, detective dispatched.

Damn, so it was intentionally done? What an a-hole, I hope they're able to ID them!

There was a fight between staff and patrons. Apparently the staff cut off a group of patrons and they didn’t take it well. Fight spilled out into the street where an SUV was idling on Grove. Someone jumped in the SUV and attempted to run over the group fighting. They hit a couple people and then started doing donuts in the Grove/Grand intersection. Sped up and down grand a few times and while trying to drive away reversed straight into the building. A bunch of cars on grand seem to have been sideswiped but I have not heard an update on whether they caught the guy. Insane.

That is so messed up. Aggravated assault, attempted vehicular manslaughter, these are not small crimes. What kind of trash would do this?

The kind that had to be cut-off at a restuarant.

Can also throw in thousands of dollars of repairs to a building and to cars. And I don’t know if there’s a crime committed by causing all that damage and then driving away? Like causing several thousand $s in damage and driving away?

Just walked past the place. Open for business still but workmen are doing repairs. These criminals wrecked it up good.

They had this place back and operational in less time than it took Amy Degise to report her own hit and run.

HOW though? I saw them working on it around noon, pieces were literally coming down in chunks letting me see through into the kitchen. Dang that's commitment

Did they put out a description of the people involved? Seems odd nobody mentioned it.

Are you new here? This really isn’t that shocking when you pay attention to criminal activity across the entire city.

Eh not necessarily. These preliminary charges they do prior to investigation will get changed/modified as more facts are uncovered.
