...driver of the vehicle was arrested by CPD, though possibly on charges unrelated to the accident, Cooper said. CPD officials would not release the driver's name or the nature of the charges filed against him yesterday evening...
Spillane is not at all fazed by the fact that nobody has seen Enos' face or knows his name. In fact, she seems to think it's a plus. "It hit me that this is the most famous truck driver since the O.J. Simpson case but no one in the media ever mentioned him," she says.

Marnet would rather be a forklift driver than a cocaine trafficker.

"If you come here with an American attitude that you have to stick to the rules," says McVey, "you're probably going to have a nervous breakdown." A changed attitude, it seems, may not be a bad trade-off for peace, art and great pasta...
