The criminal was NOT being chased by police. The criminal is not new to Minnesota! The one driving the car is non-other then Derrick Thompson. You might know his father, ex-rep John Thompson.
Derrick Thompson has a little bit of criminal history!
Driver in Montecito hit-and-run that put woman in coma sentenced to 8 years in prison

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – A man who struck and injured a woman in Montecito while fleeing law enforcement has been sentenced to eight years in prison.
Derrick John Thompson, 23, pleaded guilty to evading an officer causing injury, leaving the scene of an accident causing permanent injury and conspiracy to possess marijuana for sale – all felonies.
While trying to navigate a turn from Channel Drive onto Butterfly Lane, Thompson’s vehicle hit a 58-year-old North Carolina woman who was staying at a nearby house.
Thompson then fled the scene on foot while the woman remained at the scene, seriously injured. His two passengers, Diamonte Markel Hickerson of Newport, Minnesota, and Justyn Desean Sanders of Maplewood Minnesota, were detained by police.
Officers searched the vehicle and found more than 17 pounds of marijuana and over $20,000 in cash.
Thompson was eventually identified as the suspect and was arrested and extradited from Saint Paul, Minnesota. Meanwhile, the woman that was hit by his vehicle fought for her life while in a coma for several weeks.
Thompson pleaded guilty to charges on Jan. 26 after prosecutors refused to offer a plea deal. On Tuesday, despite prosecutors asking for additional prison time, Thompson was sentenced to eight years in prison.
“This case was a series of dangerous criminal choices that resulted in a horrendous conclusion,” Santa Barbara County District Attorney Joyce Dudley said in a press release. “The victim has made a miraculous recovery but will still live with the injuries inflicted by this defendant for the rest of her life.”
Let me remind you who John Thompson is:
John Thompson racial protest!
And then there is this:
Remember when Thompson said he was pulled over for ‘driving while black’?
What’s sad is that many local activists supported his lies, that is why the cam was released, to prove what a liar he is. According to me, many activists lost any or all respect they had before speaking out.
I’ll post more later today!
