Yeah I was shocked when I read this but it looks to be true. The photos can be found HERE. Man I would like to think he didn't do this but the photos tell a different story. He will be lucky not to do some time for this. Evading and hit & run are no joke, I would say we wont be seeing Rampage fight for at least 1-2 years.

Why the hell would you run from the police in a truck that has a big picture of yourself on the side of it? Running from the police is already a bad idea, but that makes it even more foolish.

Well i think somebody on the money he makes would of actually been more likely to just stop and get arrested or try and sort it out on the scene rather than run. I mean, if he'd done that it probably wouldnt be that big of a deal, its the running thats made the situation so bad. I doubt it would get nearly as much coverage as its going to get now.

I don't know if Rampage has any priors but I can see him getting probation and community service along with a heft fine and house arrest. I'm not too worried about the time but I am worried about what happened to make him do this.
I don't think it will be a year or two before we see him but I think its a safe bet he won't be fighting Forrest for the title.
Im prayen for probation though as I think something had to be up for him to do this. It may have to do with his temper but he seems very level so something had to set him off.

exact opposite for me. I would have stopped. because gettin in a wreck isnt nearly as bad as getting in a wreck and fleeing the scene

I'm a cop, and dumb criminals never suprise me one bit... But can you imagine that 911 tape from the first H&R?
Operator... 911 whats your emergancy?
poor b@stard... Umm yeah, I was just hit buy a big f'n truck. Can you send someone out here?
Operator... OK sir, we've got officers en route. Can you describe the truck to me?
victim... Well, lets see. It was a black ford monster truck.
Operator... Monster truck sir?
Vic... Yeah! you should have seen it. It was jacked up about as tall as a house. There was this beast painted on the side too.
Operator... A beast sir?
Vic... Yeah! You should have seen him! I think he was being held down by a chain, I can't be too sure though. It all happened so fast.
Operator... Did you see the driver at all sir?
Vic... No, but as he came up along side of me I could see the car that was driving on the other side of the truck...Does that help at all? I sure hope that beast wasn't in there.
Operator.. Ok sir, just one second.
Operator... Dispatch to all units- be on the lookout for a large dark colored pick-up truck, approximately the size of a house with likely driver's side damage. Truck was described as having graphics along the side, and possibly driven by a beast.
Operator. Sir, units are on there way.
I can't believe a they actually found him... I'm sure that truck just blends right in. Moron. Its probably good that Rampage found his brain before he got out of the truck. I'm not certain how kindly California's finest would have taken to the whole "Do you know who I am?!" routine.
None of this matters though. His lawyer will get him out of any criminal charges. But I'd be a little concerned about that civil suit if I was him.
