In Culpeper, Va., a man has been taken into custody after allegedly driving his SUV through a “No Kings” protest, reportedly hitting at least one individual.

The Culpeper Police Department (CPD) reported that Joseph R. Checklick Jr., 21, a resident of Culpeper, was apprehended after officers observed him navigating recklessly through the protesters.

  • One person injured after shots fired as 10,000 people march for ‘No Kings’ protest

The “No Kings in Culpeper” protest took place in front of a Walmart, and as it concluded, participants were crossing the parking lot when Checklick allegedly “intentionally sped his vehicle towards the crowd as it was dispersing,” according to police.

Although officers said the SUV hit one person, they had not received a report that anyone was hurt as of late Saturday afternoon.

Checklick, who faces a charge of reckless driving, appeared before a magistrate. He was being held without bond at the Culpeper County Jail. Police said Checklick may face additional charges.

CPD asked anyone who witnessed what happened, was involved in the incident, or may have documented it, to email tips@culpeperva.gov. People who want to remain anonymous can submit tips by calling Culpeper Crime Solvers at (540) 727-0300 or submitting an online tip at culpeperpd.org.
