A CHP official’s alleged road rage case is still under review by State Department of Justice nearly 3 months later. On July 21st a big rig driver’s dash cam captured footage that shows an eastbound tanker truck stopped on the Knighton Road overpass with a car blocking its way. A man can be seen falling backwards from the running board of the cab after apparently being punched by the driver. The man appears to be unconscious as he falls to the ground, his body limp, and bounces on the asphalt. Another man remains standing on the running board and reaches in the window striking the driver before stepping down to assist the man on the ground. The truck then pulls away and goes around the car blocking its way. The unconscious man was apparently Todd Garr, Assistant Chief of the CHP Northern Division Office in Redding. Garr was off duty at the time and had allegedly stopped in front of the big rig to block its way and confront the truck driver after some sort of perceived traffic sleight on the freeway. CHP administration in Sacramento sent an investigative report to the Shasta County District Attorney’s Office for review. Shasta County D.A. Stephanie Bridgett has sent the case back to Sacramento to be handled by the Department of Justice and the Attorney General’s Office. Bridgett’s husband works for the Highway Patrol and she wants to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest. Garr is apparently still employed by the CHP, but nobody has said officially if he’s on leave or not. Nearly 3 months after the incident, many civilians have complained about the lack of transparency during the lengthy investigation process. Following a request for information by KQMS Tuesday, a Justice Department official reiterated their position, saying “To protect its integrity, we cannot comment on the status of our review.”
