He told investigators that β€œI knew that when I put [her into DAVID], I’m like β€˜fuck’ and that’s why I stopped right after and nothing else.” But that wasn’t the end of it; he investigated the woman then used a powerful license plate tracking database to find her location and chase her down. In doing so, he also β€œalmost cause[d] a head on collision while passing as a white truck traveling northbound had to veer off the roadway to avoid a collision.”
