FOLLOW-UP: Story raises questions

| January 16, 2021 1:00 AM

The Press ran an item Saturday regarding a hit and run accident involving President Trump supporters and an unnamed driver. There was quite a bit of coverage about the action of the protester but little about the driver.

It was stated that the driver drove to the sheriff office after the incident but no more information not even the name of the driver. Even though his name was known at the time. Also, it was stated that a “redacted” police report was provided. Again no name. Why would a simple hit and run need to have a “redacted” police report? Surprise, there has not been any follow up on this story, one would wonder why?
