Van in road rage incident linked to Cheney man
A van involved in a road rage incident in north Spokane Friday has been connected to a man in the Cheney area, and the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office is asking for helping finding him.
The van’s Washington license plate was traced to a church in Post Falls, but the owner has sold the van and doesn’t remember the buyer’s name, said Sgt. Dave Reagan.
The incident began when the van cut off a motorcycle while southbound on Newport Highway, according to the Sheriff’s Office
The motorcyclist and his passenger eventually parked when traffic was backed up and smashed out a side window on the van with his helmet before the van backed over the driver, dragging him about 20 feet.
The man was freed as the van pulled onto Division, and he and the woman were treated for scrapes, cuts and road rash at a hospital.
Witnesses described the full-size, black and silver Chevrolet van as a “beater,” according to a news release.
The Washington license plate was 102YVY. Anyone with information on the van or its owner is asked to call Crime Check at (509) 456-2233.

“Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.”
If you even speak to the Sheriff they file a “incident report” and you suddenly have a “police record” in the computers forever. It may keep you from getting a job or renting an apartment.
And thats if the Sheriff doesn’t think of some excuse to arrest you while you are talking, for “resisting” or “failing to comply” or just “looked suspicious.” They are hired to find excuses to arrest you. That is their job. That is who they are.
If you know anything about this incident, for the love of your own safety, keep your mouth shut and stay below their radar.

It sounds like someone brought a motorcycle helmet to a van fight.

I wonder what the guy on the motorcycle thought was going to happen when he smashed the van window out? Like spoketucky elluded to; don’t start what you can’t finish.
