Driver Accused of Targeting and Running Over 80-Year-Old Man With Trump Sign FOUND DEAD


This is a horrible story any way you look at it.

An 80-year old man is in critical condition….all for wanting to put a Trump sign in his yard.

And the alleged assailant is dead of a self-inflicted gunshot (I’m not shedding any tears).

Such a bizarre story that seemingly involves yet another case of Far-Left Trump Derangement Syndrome.

How much longer are we going to tolerate this before we just start locking these people up in mental institutions?

Here’s what happened:

Press Release-Update

On Sunday, July 21, 2024, the Hancock Police Department responded to three different incidents that appeared to be politically motivated. Two of the incidents involved vehicles that were intentionally vandalized.

At approximately 5:45 PM, in the 1600 block of Anthony Street, the same subject driving an ATV (4-wheel) allegedly with intention to do harm drove into the residence yard, running over an 80-year-old male who was posting a political sign in his yard.

The victim was transported to the hospital with serious injuries and remains in critical condition.

It is believed that the person driving the ATV is involved in all three incidents. Be aware, the subject appeared to target both Trump and Law Enforcement supporters.

The Hancock Police Department is looking for any help from the community in identifying the subject.

Update: July 23, 2024

The Hancock Police Department would like to thank the community, local police agencies, and the media for their assistance. The driver of the ATV was identified last evening. This is an on-going investigation, and at this time the subject’s name will not be released.

And from local CBS News:

A Michigan man who allegedly ran over an elderly man with an ATV and vandalized vehicles — in what police say were politically motivated incidents — has been found dead.

The Hancock Police Department was contacted by a man on Monday who said they wanted to “confess a crime involving an ATV driver within the last 24 hours.” The man instructed police to “send someone to pick me up.”

When Hancock police and deputies with the Houghton County Sheriff’s Office arrived at the man’s residence in Quincy Township in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, they found a 22-year-old man dead from a single self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Through a search warrant for the home, deputies retrieved several electronic devices and found the ATV that was used and the clothing the suspect wore during the incident.

On Sunday, Hancock police responded to three incidents that appeared to be politically motivated. Police say the victims displayed political yard signs for former President Donald Trump and law enforcement appreciation flags and stickers.

In two of the incidents, the suspect intentionally vandalized vehicles, according to a release from Hancock Police Chief Tami Sleeman.

Then, at 5:45 p.m., officers responded to the 1600 block of Anthony St. after the same suspect driving an ATV allegedly intentionally drove through a yard and ran over an 80-year-old man who was putting up a political sign in his front yard.

The 80-year-old was taken to a local hospital in critical condition.
