Monster Truck Driver Arrested After Rampage at Texas ‘Redneck’ Event, Multiple Cars and Victims Crushed
A biannual outdoors event ended in chaos and multiple felony charges after a monster truck rampage left people and vehicles crushed.
The incident started at the Sept. 20 “Rednecks with Paychecks” off-road event in Montague County, Texas.
Deputies from the Montague County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to the scene after authorities were alerted to a large monster truck striking people and vehicles at the event.
When deputies arrived, KFDX-TV reported they found Jonathan Earl Reid, a 36-year-old native of Crockett, detained by event security.
Witnesses told authorities that Reid initially struck a utility terrain vehicle at the park where the private Rednecks with Paychecks event was being held. They said the collision sparked a heated argument between Reid and multiple other individuals.
