Nathaniel Walter Radimak, 36, was arrested Sunday by major crimes unit officers in connection with assaults he is believed to have committed on Jan. 11 while driving a Tesla Model X on State Route 2, the CHP said.
“The assaults were captured on a dashcam video and several leads were provided to our department by the public which led to the arrest,” the CHP said.
The video showed that the Tesla did not have a rear license plate.
Other drivers came forward with accounts of attacks after video of the Jan. 11 attacks aired.
Radimak was booked into a Los Angeles Police Department jail for investigation of assault with a deadly weapon and on two unspecified outstanding warrants.
Initial bail was listed at $5.175 million, ABC reported.
It was not immediately known whether Radimak has a lawyer to comment on his behalf.
You can wait on the lawyer for now. This fool needs a psychiatrist more.
Ben the man that’ll be fine for now.
This person/animal might have gone crazy at least partly because of the excessive wireless and electric fields inside and around his EV.
