A man in Florida has been arrested after police say he allegedly ran over multiple people, including one fatally, after he was kicked out of a strip club "due to inappropriate behavior," RadarOnline.com can reveal.
Around 4:20 a.m. on Aug. 13, officers responded to the parking lot of Emperors Gentleman Club, where a truck had crashed, according to the Tampa Police Department.
In December 1989, Ruth Buchanan was struck by a vehicle that ran a red light, police said.
Eyewitnesses told investigators the semi-truck driver, 25-year-old Dylan Fogle, had been kicked out of the club, but returned to allegedly “drive the truck into a group of people standing at the entrance," police said.
In court documents obtained by WTVT, Officer Robin Sarrasin noted: "There were several people, hysterically screaming, pointing to the subject, yelling he's the driver. He did it. He killed our friend."
Officers noticed bruising and scratch marks on the boy's body and all three of the children were transported to the hospital.
Detective Andrew Visser said Fogle claimed the throttle got stuck on the truck. According to Visser, however, “There were no brake marks or skid marks at the scene” and “no evasive maneuvers."
Authorities alleged they found a message from Fogle stating he wanted “to hurt somebody or run somebody over,” court records claim.
The suspect fled the scene in the victim's car, but then crashed the vehicle when trying to run from police.
Detectives were able to obtain screenshots of messages allegedly from Fogle to another friend before the crash occurred. According to police, one alleged messages read: “Goodbye, I’m going to prison for vehicular manslaughter.”
Three victims reportedly were involved in the crash, including Giovanni Soto, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
Buchanan was transported to the hospital, where she would die from her injuries.
The two other victims were transported to a local hospital for critical injuries, but they have since been released.
Fogle was also transported to the hospital for injuries. Police alleged his blood-alcohol content was above the legal limit and may have contributed to the incident.
