SHERIFF'S SERGEANT AARON WILLIAMSON TELLS 770 KKOB EMPLOYEES CALLED SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES SAYING TWO PEOPLE AT THE RESTAURANT WERE SUSPECTED OF TAKING FOOD WITHOUT PAYING FOR IT LAST WEEK.
WHEN DEPUTIES ARRIVED AND CONFRONTED 25 YEAR OLD SUSPECT DERRIC MONTOYA, HE BACKED HIS VEHICLE INTO A BCSO PATROL UNIT … THEN ALMOST HIT A DEPUTY, WHO HAD TO JUMP OUT OF THE WAY.
