Police officers obtained video of the crash from a nearby business and found a suspect truck – a 2016 gray Freightliner – in a nearby tow yard, according to affidavits. Ramey was identified as the driver of the tow truck by co-workers and through video footage

His next court appearance is a review hearing on June 18.
