We have not given up on our search for Mr. Waithaka. We are following up on leads as we receive them and continue to work with private agencies and our state and federal law enforcement partners.

We appreciate everyone’s concern but we cannot possibly respond to all of the calls and emails from non-family members wanting an update.

Please continue to share and call us with any information.

We will update as appropriate.

One afternoon this week our dispatchers saw a vehicle driving recklessly in Oliver Park near the basketball courts. A new Alabama law allows police to charge suspects with dangerous “exhibition” driving through the use of video evidence.

The individual responsible for this was visited at his home by Calera Detectives and is being charged under this new law.

The first offense is a Class C misdemeanor and the vehicle may be impounded. The second offense is a class B misdemeanor and the court can suspend driving privileges for six months.

Numerous teens have been critically injured and some killed in Alabama in recent years due to exhibition driving.

“There are places you can go and do this type of thing and get away with it. This isn’t the place.” (Chief Hyche)

“This law does not apply to private motor speedways or private land with the owners consent.”
