Two men have been
accused of stealing from
the vehicle that Paul
Walker and Roger Rodas
crashed in. Prosecutors
filed charges against the
two men after they
allegedly stole a part from
the wrecked Porsche
Carrera GT after the car
accident on Nov. 30.
According to Deputy
District Attorney Sera
Boyadjian, both men have
been charged with one
felony count of grand theft
of personal property.
Jameson Brooks Witty and
Anthony Edward Janow
have also been charged
with two misdemeanor
counts each of destroying
evidence and "resisting,
obstructing and delaying a
peace officer."
Janow is due to surrender
on Tuesday, while Witty
already posted bail and is
expected to face a judge
on Jan. 3, 2014.
Prosecutors claim that on
the evening of the fatal
crash, both men stole one
of the roof's panels from a
tow truck carrying the
demolished vehicle when
it was stopped at a red
light in Valencia, Calif.
They also allege that the
crime took place after they
were told by a Los
Angeles County Sheriff's
deputy that they were not
allowed to tamper with the
crime scene in any way
whatsoever.
If both are convicted as
charged, they could face a
maximum of four years,
six months in county jail.
The charges come just
one day after a massive
unofficial memorial rally
and car cruise took place
around the loop where
Walker and Rodas died.
Thousands of Walker fans
and car enthusiasts came
together to place flowers
at the site and remember
the fallen Fast and the
Furious actor.
According to a coroner's
report released Dec. 4,
Walker died of the
combined effects of
traumatic and thermal
injuries resulting from the
crash.
