One eye witness who "claims" he saw the driver earlier...
"The connection between the driver of the truck and the woman who was tackled remains unclear. But Sam Pape, 28, said they saw them both outside the bar Church on Northeast Sandy Boulevard and 26th Avenue several hours before the downtown confrontation.
The pair had been loudly arguing with each other about 7 p.m. when the woman grabbed a gas canister from the man and took off in a separate car, said Pape, who works at Church. The man went back to his white Ford truck, which was parked nearby, and proceeded to drink several bottles of Miller High Life he had stashed away over the next half hour.
At one point, the man got into a verbal altercation with another person on Northeast Sandy and pulled out a hatchet from his truck, Pape said. He also yelled several racist slurs at the person, according to Pape."
