I guess I should say that a suspect is in custody. He says it wasn’t him.
Refuge from the Group W bench?
White male being questioned, claims he has no gun, truck backfired.
I thought they arrested those guys??
If the truck just backfired, then he should probably seek revenge for all this.
It used to be easy to make a vehicle backfire but it could blow out mufflers. I don’t know if modern computer-controlled engines can.

When you turned the ignition back on, it would backfire really loud. Oh, and yes it was rough on mufflers.

My brother could make his older car backfire. He would turn the key off and then on again while we were driving down the road. I believe the ignition would cause the exhaust gasses to ignite inside the muffler.
