Allegations
Further reports reaching our newsroom state that the man went to Alphonso's Garage, owned by Mr Alphonso, to make a purchase when Mr Alphonso instructed that the key to the vehicle be handed over since there were defaults in payment for the said vehicle.
An employee of the garage allegedly retrieved the key; however, the accused requested the key to get his belongings from the vehicle. When given the key; however, he allegedly attempted to drive away.
According to an eyewitness, at that point, Mr Alphonso, who was standing close to the vehicle, reacted by holding on to the moving vehicle but stumbled and fell.
It is said the truck ran over the lower extremities of the businessman and he was also hit in the head by the vehicle.
The man is currently facing charges of Reckless Driving and Negligent Act.

Thats noway way to treat people
Lock that man up and trow away the Keys

Also, I wonder, did the driver stop or did he just keep driving. He only just turned himself in so I'm guessing he kept driving which to me hints on intent or some wilful act and not just a mere 'accident'. Attempted murder...manslaughter. He had opportunity, motive, intention. When he finally turned himself in, it was after with an attorney who already helped to put a story together but when you analyse the whole thing, the story still raising questions. There are 3 parts to every story and we only hearing the one that was put together by the lawyer. Waiting to hear parts 2 and 3.
Lots of pompous knows it all here done decide who wrong and who not wrong and know the whole story. If the police need witnesses not a r@$$ of you will come forward so stop mouthing off behind hidden walls. Hiding behind anonymity. Saying the man cause it on himself. Look at the racism in your comments. The straight hair vs wiry hair comments. Backward ever.
Really it is some one from out of this territory saying this and make it
sound as if its a local saying it.when its not a local to see what responders will be saying.
