The passenger who was filming and cackling while his buddy struck and killed a man riding his bike has been arrested.<\/p>\n
The unnamed suspect was taken into custody Tuesday in Clark County — this according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, which says they have their man. His identity has yet to be revealed … he’s also a minor — just like his alleged accomplice.<\/p>\n
The DAs said on Tuesday the 2 males are expected to be tried as adults, however.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Remember, these two are who cops say are featured in a now notorious video<\/strong> that circulated online … graphically depicting the murder of 64-year-old Andreas Probst, who was simply riding his bicycle down the street when the two guys in the car opted to hit him.<\/p>\n You can hear them talking about it right before they hit the accelerator — the guy driving asks his passenger if he should go for it … and the passenger encourages him to do it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Probst went flying into the air and was left for dead on the road. The two males in the car — one of whom cops are saying is just a teenager, BTW — can be heard laughing it up as they drive away.<\/p>\n Mind you … right before they ran over Probst, the two had gotten into a separate road rage incident — where they slammed into another car — literally just moments beforehand.<\/p>\n However, authorities now say there was a third incident that went down roughly 30 minutes before all of this … where the 2 teens hit another person on a bike, claiming the passenger was the one behind the wheel this time.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The video has drawn widespread outrage and condemnation … and Vegas PD has since publicly pleaded<\/strong> for help in ID’ing the other dude. Now, police say they have them both.<\/p>\n It remains to be seen if the passenger will face similar charges as the driver — who’s being prosecuted for hit-and-run as well as murder.<\/p>\n
