KCTV 5 interviewed the men involved in Wednesday night's chase when a man named "Justin" tailed a man mistaken for the suspected Waldo rapist for 40 minutes from Waldo to 9th and Cleveland in KCK.
"I could've been killed that day because of one person trying to be a G.I.
Joe or something," Jason, the man being chased, told KCTV.
Jason told KCTV that he got lost in Waldo Wednesday afternoon while trying to find 71 Highway. That's when he noticed someone following him.
Justin's explanation for chasing Jason: "He roughly matched the description" of the suspected Waldo rapist and was circling his neighborhood in a green Ford Taurus.
Justin claims he was on the phone with a 911 dispatcher for 40 minutes, and police never arrived.
Jason ended up at his cousin's home on 9th and Cleveland in KCK. The stories differ from there.
Justin, the chaser, claims someone shot at him while he waited for
police to arrive. Jason, the man being followed, says he didn't hear any
gunshots.
Jason was reportedly arrested for outstanding
traffic warrants, not for being the Waldo rapist.
"So I said,
'You think I'm this rapist?' and the cop says, 'You don't look like him
unless you grew facial hair and you shrunk,'" Jason told KCTV 5.
As for Justin, he told KCTV 5 that he'd follow someone again.
Good to see no one has learned anything from this mess.
