Man Crashes Car Into Radio Station

POSTED: 1:41 pm PDT March 14, 2008
UPDATED: 10:50 am PDT March 15, 2008

An angry listener may be responsible for a car that crashed into Portland radio station studios Friday afternoon.

The driver backed the car into the studios of Newsradio 750 KXL and Jammin 95.5 on Bancroft Street at about 1 p.m. and then drove away.

Employees said the car came within feet of the receptionist. Workers at the radio station managed to get a license plate number and police were able to track the driver to Vancouver.

Officers took the man into custody at his home and towed his car away was evidence.

Neighbors said the man responsible has a vendetta against the radio station Jammin 95.5. According to the neighbors, he said the DJs at the station made fun of him on their morning show a few years ago.

They also said he’s talked about doing something at the radio station, but they never took him seriously.

“We’ll be outside and he’ll stop by before he goes home and says ‘I’m going to be on the news soon, you better watch the news,’” said William Veale, a neighbor. “He’s had this planned out.”

Police said the driver is receiving a mental evaluation. He was not charged with a crime Friday.
