[NEWS4JAX] Hours after a van plowed through a Republican Party tent where volunteers were registering voters, Jacksonville police arrested a 27-year-year man on two counts of aggravated assault on a person over 65 years old, criminal mischief and driving without a license.Gregory William Loel Timm was identified as the person behind the wheel of the van that struck the tent set up the parking lot of a Walmart Superstore at the corner of Atlantic and Kernan boulevards about 3:50 p.m. Saturday.
Timm is accused of pulling up, driving through the tent and striking their tables.
"It happened so quickly," said Nina Williams, a volunteer. "I just barely got out of the way."
According to Lt. Larry Gayle said after driving through the tent, the driver, now identified as Timm, stopped, took a video and "flipped off" the people who were inside the tent before driving away. Investigators are monitoring social media to see if the video shows up.
No injuries were reported. One of the volunteers provided photos of the older brown Chevrolet driving away.
