Driver Who Plowed Into Charlottesville Protesters Arrested For Suspicion Of 2nd Degree Murder

Charlottesville Driver Arrested & Identified As James Alex Fields Jr.

The POS who plowed his Dodge Charger into a crowd of protesters marching against the “pro white” rally in Charlottesville, killing one woman and injuring 19 others, is now in custody and facing multiple charges.

Via TMZ:

The suspect’s been identified as James Alex Fields Jr., a 20-year-old Ohio man. He’s being held on suspicion of second-degree murder, malicious wounding, failure to stop for an accident involving a death, and hit and run … Virginia police told the Washington Post. He’s reportedly being held without bail.

In disturbing video of the crash … the driver believed to be Fields appeared to deliberately drive his Dodge Challenger into a group of counterprotesters walking down the street, then floored it in reverse in an attempt to flee. He was captured shortly after.

I hope he’s prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
