The only thing more annoying than facing more than three dozen criminal charges? Parade road closures — at least to one rage-filled driver who decided the best way to beat traffic during Portland’s Rose Parade was driving straight through police barricades.
In newly-released dash cam footage depicting the accident, which went down last June, driver Sidney Mecham can be seen absolutely losing his mind, speeding down the shoulder of the highway and nearly bulldozing multiple pedestrians in a fit of road rage.
“They got it all blocked off! The Lloyd Center exit! The Convention Center exit! Every motherf–ing exit!” Mecham can be heard screaming during his reign of terror. “You motherf—kers! F—k you! F—k you! F—k you! F—k you!”
After several moments of horrifying parade goers, several of which can be seen running from his vehicle, Mecham was ultimately captured by authorities, and taken to jail, where he has remained since. He currently faces nearly 40 charges, ranging from hit-and-run property damage to several counts of reckless driving.
So take it from this newly-minted jailbird — if you’re gonna get arrested, at least listen to something more bada— than Yelawolf.
