Did Subway Trumper shoot pepper spray into crowd?

Because you love me so much, you may remember back in May when I blogged here about a drunken Donald Trump supporter at the Subway restaurant in Bellevue. He littered the place with a shredded newspaper as he spewed some vague pro-Trump hogwash.

Well, a day or two ago, there were reports of a man on a red motortrike shooting pepper spray into a crowd that was gathering outside a Newport social services agency. A local Facebook page identified the man by name. They said he lives in Dayton, Kentucky, and he's known in Dayton for his creepy behavior. It didn't appear to be a bias crime, because he seems to attack at random. People say he used to drive around in a convertible and shoot pepper spray at victims indiscriminately - and that he bragged that his pepper spray was the same kind police use. He was also caught randomly scratching up more than 30 cars about a year ago. They also say his creepy behavior has caused neighbors to move away. Plus, they say he once locked a woman in a shed for days and once stabbed a man.

They posted an old mugshot too, in which the man is smiling his ass off. When I saw the photo, I knew I'd seen him somewhere, but I just couldn't figure out where.

Today, it hit me. I'm pretty sure he's the same guy I saw drunkenly praising Trump at Subway. I'm not 100% sure, but it looks like him. Balding on top, and longer hair in the back. Same mullet, but I don't remember if the guy in Subway wore glasses like the man in the mugshot did. Still, I think it's the same guy.

As for the man in the mugshot, I haven't found anything political on his several Facebook pages. He seems to be obsessed with Paul McCartney and often uses his photo as his profile picture - though one of his Facebook pages says Justin Bieber is among his favorite singers. He claims on Facebook that he is married, but the Facebook page of his supposed wife appears to be one of those phony accounts that falsely purports to be for an attractive young woman.

Even if this man isn't the same dude I saw at Subway, northern Campbell County is being terrorized by a random troublemaker, yet a few people still insist the biggest problem in our community is that the poor don't pay enough taxes. Then again, the man who says that is from Indiana, so I don't know why he keeps inserting himself into northern Kentucky's business.
