The Challenger, built for SEMA by Quintin Brothers Auto and Performance in Vermont, was stolen last week from an overflow parking lot at a casino close to the display hall, per local media reports. After police tracked it to a parking garage hours later, the cornered driver rammed it into a police car and fled the scene.

According to the Quintin Brothers' Facebook page, the driver then crashed through a fence and onto a nearby karting track during an event. Eventually, the car was abandoned and recovered without the driver. He managed to escape the scene, only to be apprehended on November 5 after allegedly shooting someone outside of a local grocery store, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The victim was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.

With all of that having happened in the last week, it'd be understandable for the Quintin Brothers to cancel their SEMA display. But after all the coverage the story has received, the shop brought the damaged car to the ProCharger booth at SEMA anyway.

All I got from this is that if the police had done more to stop this clown someone wouldn't have gotten shot outside a grocery store a week later.

Too bad the cops didn't shoot and kill the bastard when they had the chance. Good news is a liberal judge will set him free shortly, and the cops can try for round 2!

Exactly! He has a family to feed of course. He is just trying to do right but had no choice. I’m sure he can be rehabilitated.

He just needs a prescription for two lead pills for his brain and he will be fine.

I remember when cops yelled, "Stop, or I'll shoot!" Perps used to stop.
