The incident began about 1:30 p.m. Sunday when police tried to make a traffic stop of a silver mini-van near downtown, the Washoe County Sheriff's Office said.
The driver of the mini-van failed to stop and headed toward downtown, the sheriff's office said in a statement.
The mini-van tried to get past a barricade in front of the annual Biggest Little City Wing Fest and then swerved toward a police officer who was on foot, the sheriff's office said.
The officer opened fire, causing the man to crash into a vendor, KTVN reported.
...
Wing Fest, an annual chicken wings cook-off, is a three-day event that features 25 wing cookers, a free concert and draws 80,000 people.

The suspect ran the taco slop joint in town. He wasn’t impressed by chicken wing joints.

Suspect arrested.
City prosecutor said alleged suspect is obviously a flight risk and was denied bail.

It’s Ramadan and probably they were offended to be missing out on chicken wings while everyone else was feasting themselves.

Was the guy driving on “a wing and a prayer”?
Guess he didn’t work for Chik-Fil-A, huh?
Did he work for KFC? Popeye’s? Church’s?
His last words were, as he crashed the place, were, “Do you want fries with that”?
To: tet68
I’d like to know who egged him on. The information in these articles is often scrambled.
