Michael Berry accused of ramming vehicle at gay club

<snip>

The driver of the Tahoe left the scene, Bennett said. Bennett said that as he examined the damage to his vehicle, the Tahoe circled the block, passing him. When Bennett tried to stop the Tahoe by shining his flashlight, he said he recognized the driver as a customer entering the bar that night and getting out of the same vehicle, whom he was later able to identify as Berry.

“There’s no question it was him,” said Bennett, who got the Tahoe’s license plate number as it went by him. Instead of stopping, the driver kept going and later circled the block a second time.

“I thought, OK, maybe he had a change of heart, and he’s going to stop,” Bennett said. However, the driver again left the scene, he said.

TC’s bar manager, Rod Gonzales, said he was with Bennett the second time the driver of the Tahoe circled back to the scene of the crash. While he didn’t see the crash, Gonzales recognized Berry as a customer at the bar that night as well as from others.

The bar’s owner, Tim Pugh, said he gave police a copy of the surveillance footage inside TC’s that clearly shows Berry inside the establishment.
