Minnesota: Driver hits Army recruiters in crosswalk

​

ROSEVILLE, Minn. (KMSP) - A Minneapolis man who admitted to hitting two Army recruiters in a crosswalk at Roseville Mall, dragging one for nearly a mile, has been charged with three counts of criminal vehicular operation, two of which are felonies.

According to charges, Enrico Taylor, 52, got out of his Jeep and attempted to free 42-year-old Sgt. 1st Class Travis Torgerson from underneath the car with his foot but failed and continued driving with Torgerson caught underneath.

Staff Sgt. Michael Stroud, 29, told police he and Torgerson were walking in the crosswalk toward the recruiting office when Taylor's Jeep did not slow for the two and struck them while driving approximately 10 to 12 miles per hour.

Stroud said he rolled over the hood and fell to the side.

Witnesses said they saw Torgerson clinging to the rear bumper of the Jeep, screaming for help. After initial attempts to free him, Taylor exited the Jeep a second time, witnesses said, and couldn't pull Torgerson out so he continued driving south on Fairview Avenue, then onto County Road B2. Torgerson eventually dislodged himself at Prior Avenue, and Taylor proceeded to drive away.

Roseville police found the Jeep in a Motel 6 parking lot and spoke to staff, who said Taylor had requested a cab and then left the building heading toward the Wally McCarthy Cadillac dealership just east of the motel where officers located and arrested him.

Upon his arrest, Taylor said he was meeting somebody at the Motel 6 and denied driving the Jeep. Ten minutes following the police interview, Taylor told officers he wished to speak to them again and said he was concerned about the man he hit, and said "I freaked out because my license is suspended. I turned the corner coming up the hill. I got a contact in, the light blinded me, I didn't see him, he stepped in front of me, it was too late."

When police asked for the keys for the vehicle, Taylor said he had placed them in the cheeks of his buttocks and flushed them while in the holding cell. He denied taking any drugs or drinking alcohol on the day of the incident, but admitted to taking cocaine Sunday and drinking on Monday.

Torgerson's wife told police he fractured his tibia and fibula and had two rods placed in his right leg, a plate in his right heel, and he suffered a broken tailbone and several broken ribs. He also had several broken transverse processes on his spinal column and deep abrasions in his back that will require several skin grafts. Flesh on his backside was ground to the bone.

Taylor is set to appear in court on Thursday afternoon. If convicted, he could serve a maximum five-year sentence, a $10,000 fine, or both.
