Jameson Witty, California Teen, Arrested For Stealing Piece Of Paul Walker's Wrecked Porsche
A Los Angeles teenager has been arrested by Los Angeles authorities after being accused of stealing a piece of the damaged car that actor Paul Walker died in after crashing on Saturday.
CNN reports that 18-year-old Jameson Witty was arrested in Tujunga, Calif., for the theft. According to the Los Angeles sheriff's department, a portion of the severely burned 2005 Porsche Carrera GT was taken when a tow truck carrying the vehicle from the accident scene stopped at a stoplight.
"A witness saw a male exit a vehicle that was following the tow truck," said the department on Friday. "The male grabbed a piece of the wrecked Porsche off the tow truck bed."
Authorities discovered a red T-top roof panel from a home in Canyon Country, which is located in the area where the accident occurred. And second suspect has also been identified according to officials. He is making plans to surrender.
The pair could face charges of felony grand theft and tampering with evidence. Witty's bail was set at $20,000 bail at the sheriff’s Santa Clarita Valley station, reports KTLA. But authorities will not be realizing his booking photo.
