A man is facing charges for buying large quantities of nails and scattering them on roads north of Cincinnati, but it's possible he's been at it for nearly a year according to court records and police.
I'm a truck driver. I was in the Florence KY (just south of Cincinnati) area a few months ago and came across a guy pouring a small bucket of nails at an intersection near Walmart. I got part of his license plate and complete description. I dialed 911 to report it, but the 911 operator didn't seem too concerned. I followed the guy for a few minutes and called back to update 911 of his location, but the lady seemed agitated that I was "so concerned." I couldn't believe #1 that someone had such a worthless life to do something like that, and #2 the police didn't seem to care.
She was probably like that because 911 is not for reporting simple things like that. It’s for life saving emergencies. You should have called the local police department instead or even state police.
@@F150customs Someone is deliberately creating a safety hazard on public roads. How is that not a life threatening emergency? All it takes is one bad blowout for a serious accident.
@@F150customs It takes all of a few seconds to transfer someone to a local precinct, DOT or any other emergency personnel. Whenever I've called and they weren't equipped to deal with something right there in their power, it's never been an issue to transfer me to the appropriate channel. By just blowing stuff off, the operator is just wasting time. If it came back that someone had a blowout that caused major property damage, injury or a fatality and not only was it preventable, but the initial report was blown off, do you think that dispatcher would still have a job? Absolutely not.
*No, I think he's in cahoots with a few tire companies. That's explains why he was going to different areas. Wouldn't surprise me if he's working with a few Tow companies as well. Who has more than 1 spare tires if you get a flat? And Tow companies are very well known for being shady.*
@tautochrone4968 It makes sense to an extent. I think he's basically saying he looks like a bum. Envy will lead a number of people to vandalism, and it has a proven track record. But, on the other hand, nearly $2,000 on nails is a lot of money... He can't be completely broke. I make a normal annual income, but I couldn't afford to do that and keep current on my bills, lol. That's a lot of coin out of hatred.
Who the hell can afford $1600 for nails and not do something constructive. He won't stop. He doesn't deserve freedom or the free room and food from jail.
If he's a danger to himself or others why is he not Held for psychiatric evaluations. Throwing nails out on the road where someone could get in an accident is a danger to others.
Correct. My state closed all its state run hospitals and shifted responsibilities to local governments. And that seemed to correspond with increasing homelessness on our streets.
In the early 1900's that led to patient neglect + abuse, SA and let's not forget *FORCED LOBOTOMIES* for treatable conditions like schizophrenia and OCD.
@@SandorVitez Not sure where this happened but a pound of nails in California is like $50 so 350 pounds of nails out here would cost like $20,000 and the economy isn't that different when you leave California, no matter who tries to tell you it is LOL this guy definitely has money...somehow 😂
Its not only the economic damage to the victims and environmental damage of all those wasted tires but also a safety concern. Modern cars drive surprisingly well on a flat tire and with the radio blasting you may not notice it at all until that tire shreds and the driver loses control. It would only take one out of control car to kill someone and then this guy would be facing a murder charge. He should not only be charged with the vandalism and force to pay restitution to victims but also charged with reckless endangerment on every victim and go away for life.
People are hurting. Just trying to get to work, struggling families, single mothers, trying to keep up. Gas & electric bills, sky high groceries, gas prices, car repairs, people are falling behind already and this a**hole is deliberately flattening people's tires?. He needs to go to prison for years not just days.
Only a sociopath would go out of their way to deliberately damage random peoples’ tires and make their lives difficult for no reason at all. This worthless pos needs to be in prison for a long time.
🐕💚🍕 there are professional people who act the same way health care is rife with sickos saving the world from itself 🤠 dogs like pizza 🐻 trumpy bear and kellyanne 🇺🇸
Either a sociopath or a psychopath. Would need proper diagnosis. Either way, it's not like he should be let out on bail and probably not out of jail, either.
Really? In 1974? Are you at least 70 years old and if so, where did you live to witness this? People were imprisoned for murder and child rape back then, just like today. Serious crimes that the community would have even *more* motive to hunt the offender down for. Yet they didn't. _(Now, black men being lynched in very certain rural towns, "sun down towns?" Sure.)_
That's some true sociopath behavior. Someone once threw limestone boulders on the highway one night, I was doing paper delivery, myself and another vehicle hit them. It was terrible, destroying our cars. They were absolutely placed on the road and did not accidentally fall out. People are psycho.
Many years ago in my blue state, a state prosecutor's son throw a bowling ball off a highway overpass that resulted with the death of a passing motorist/passenger.
the guy is not a sociopath... he is just a low level worker... someone is financing that $1600 worth of nails. dude can't even afford a hair cut, just look at the mess on his head... I believe someone was paying him to engage in this activity... a good set of tires for just ONE car will cost you 800 (1200 for a truck)... even cheap tires are going to cost you about 500 a set (mounted and balanced)... cops should have kept their mouth shut about colored nails and began looking at repair shops promoting flat tire deals/repair
Lol your statement about criminals running the world juxtaposed with your avatar is peak irony. Oh, don't you worry, honey. I don't expect for a moment that your NPC brain will see the irony.
@@Desertfox14No nails, no screws, no sharp objects, no no fresh fruit (nobody in the U.S. is trained against fresh fruit attacks), no leaf blowers, no bazookas, no Fix-a-Flat no tire irons, no scissors (he doesn't use them anyway), etc.
What a creep! I remember my Mom, a single parent of four, sobbing for all she was worth after having her tires slashed while she was working. Tires are a major expense, and her car was her only way to work. I hope they find a really serious way to punish him!
You think this guy is one of those tree hugging ecoterrorists, with some sort of weird dirt worshiping environmentalist pagan religion? We've got those around here; spending hundreds of thousands of dollars of public money to make bike lanes that we don't need, so that there aren't places to park our cars.
No need to fantasize and put words in her mouth that AOC never said. You wouldn't like it if I made up an inaccurate quote to smear, say, MTG. Let's save the cheap shots for political videos. People don't need culture war fodder 24/7/365. Best wishes.
Getting a flat at highway speeds could cause a deadly accident. How about charge him with felony reckless endangerment and give him a few years to think about it?
30 years ago I was driving down the highway when a 500ct box of romex staples flew out of the back of the truck. I did the neighborly thing, I pulled over and tried to pick them up, but nobody would slow down. I said fuggit, I climbed back into the truck and kept going to the job. I hoped no one got a flat.
@@joefer5360 Lazy effers. Maybe prisons should start charging inmates for meals then. Don't pay, don't eat. Why should some pos get free room AND board for breaking the law?
@@ReichRoller No, it isn't. But to let your pride justify indentured servitude, debtor's prisons, and slavery shows your sinfulness. Live for a nation by God.
@joefer5360 My pride? Listen to your holier than thou bullshit. If someone's reckless behavior results in a loss of property the person responsible should handle expenses. "Indentured servitude and slavery " you're so full of yourself.
@@OldHatefulCracka-zo6sm or the tire shop paid him. You gotta spend money to make money.

Know a guy with a tire repair shop.. had a tire with a nail in it, I said there are a lot of nails out there in the street these days... he joked, "I know I put them there to get customers, and they bring back my nails too which I use again" ...I know he was joking as hes a stand up guy but then I thought I better keep an eye on him just in case...
@@aros007z They are saying that dropping nails in the street is his JOB. A Tire Shop is paying him to litter the roads with nails to increase tire sales.
Why people why? We had a guy doing that but he went all out and made nail caltrops. We were in a rural neighborhood where most of us knew each other. He did it before we moved there and then when we were there. All four tires ended up either being repaired or toast multiple multiple times. The last time just before we moved we got a flat- took it to our tire place and the guy said "Well he outdid himself this time there's 3 caltrops embedded." Over that two years we also had random sharp, shaped pieces of metal embedded as well. It was a dangerous skinny road where if you blew a tire you wouldn't be able to safely react given the drop offs and bluffs butted up to the road, including an epic S curve. If you ask me these guys should be charged with attempted murder. To the cops who went way above their job, thinking of that solution, I salute you!
yep some lads will do a little job on him for his handywork with the nails ,, in my city they would nail him to a wooden floor or pallet and they wouldnt think twice about it belive me and they will be using 4-6 inch nails
When I was a kid in a small farm town (40+ years ago) we had someone doing the same thing. Turns out it was the tow-truck driver that serviced the area!
Where is the investigation into tire shops? The tire shops were obviously paying this dude to spread nails. Did nobody in the police department or news channel realize that? That's just embarrassing.
.... i am not hearing what the authorities are doing to even try finding out why he is committing that crime, and why are the authorities letting him go to destroy more property ??
modern day slavery. to see it done to black americans by people from the middle east/india who were invited to america to live a better life themselves is the most enraging part.
@@billking1751 the look on his face says f me, and f everybody else. We dont need menacing people like that screwing up everyone's day just because. There is no motive behind his bs.
I used to work at a marina. My boss had us catch floating dead head pieces of tree logs that were clogging up his marina and float them suckers back to the main river. We had more business fixing boats after that.
Why isn't this guy going to prison? Vandalism with costs exceeding $10k dollars in damage each time. Whoever the DA is needs to be removed, replaced, and get somebody who will uphold our laws and punish the guilty and protect the innocent. Same for any Judges giving this guy bond to walk free after being arrested. People lose jobs, kids miss school and tests, and nobody cares that you got flat tires because someone who hates life threw thousands of nails on roadways to ruin people's lives.
Given the cost of tire replacement, towing in some cases, this vandalism can amount to Thousands of Dollars, time for a serious felony prosecution, and some serious jail time. The prosecutors should be canvassing the community for victims and getting from them exactly what their costs were, so they can present that evidence to the judge. This is not a guy who should be walking the streets, a nail in a car tire is no joke, especially at high speeds.
one has to wonder what kind of upbringing , or mental troubles , this guy is burdened with . He certainly doesn't dress like he owns a tire shop. A salute to the police who captured this guy. I doubt some of my local police would have even bothered .
What was that definition of insanity again? Something about arresting the same individual then releasing him time and time again for the same crime, then expecting that the person is going to change his behavior. Similar to the SovCit that keeps getting citations for driving without a license or license plate time and time again. Make me wonder who the REAL idiots are 🤔
Another Black criminal caught. He could have caused the death of some innocent people, children. He's been caught twice doing this. How many other times has he done this over the years? Will he get prison time?
1:52 the arrow isn't showing where the nail was in the tire it's marking the valve stem so they can put it back on the rim in the same spot and not have to balance it again.
