4. Oh, brother. They can't take his license because he doesn't have one.

He may have a little trouble obtaining one after 4 counts of reckless endangerment and one of reckless driving. And of course being cited for "improper passing." Wonder if he or his parents will end up paying the girl's ER bill.

Marcuzzo struck four protesters, according to a court record which cites surveillance video footage. The Shelby County District Attorney's Office charged Marcuzzo with four counts of Reckless Endangerment and one count of Reckless Driving. Marcuzzo's bond was $0 and he was released on his own recognizance. At the scene Friday, he was released after officers issued him a citation for no driver’s license and improper passing, police said.

“Tony Marcuzzo was laughing. I was mortified when he so clearly wanted to hurt people when we asked him to turn around,” she said.

Another protester, Erin Dempsey, said she was taken to the hospital after the car dragged her for several feet.

According to an affidavit, officers say protesters blocked Marcuzzo when he was driving.

In the affidavit it says Marcuzzo slowly drove up to the protesters and pushed through four of them.

“In no way was this driver scared or acting in self-defense, as we’ve heard some people say,” said Dempsey.

Dempsey is doing ok, but told FOX13 what happened to her is unacceptable…


Oh, yes...!
