Waller County Coal Rolling Teen To Face Charging Decision
Waller County Coal Rolling Teen To Face Charging Decision
The Waller County District Attorney says to expect a decision on charges next month
By Steve DaSilva | Yesterday 4:01PM
The saga of the Waller County Coal Rolling Teen continues. District Attorney of Waller County Elton Mathis, in an update to his latest Facebook post about the case, gave a firm date on which to expect a decision regarding charges: November 8.
To recap: An as-yet-unidentified Teen behind the wheel of a Ford F250 Super Duty mowed down a group of cyclists last month while they were out training for a race in Waller County, TX. The Teen had been trying to “roll coal,” an illegal form of harassment in which a modified diesel vehicle spews noxious smoke onto vehicles or pedestrians in an attempt to shame them for... something, presumably.
Six cyclists were sent to the hospital with broken spines, traumatic brain injuries, and other serious wounds. The Waller County Police Department, whose Facebook profile photo is a Thin Blue Line strap obscuring an identifying badge, responded to the crash but did not arrest or charge the Teen.
