A Jacksonville man jailed after crashing a minivan through a tent of Republican volunteers in a Walmart parking lot says he did it because "someone had to take a stand," according to part of a less-redacted arrest report made public Tuesday.

[...] [Suspect Gregory William Loel Timm] said he went to Walmart to get some food and cigarettes, then noticed the tent in the parking lot and parked near it. When detectives spoke to him, he showed them videos he had taken "prior to driving into the tent," the narrative said.

"The suspect then showed another video to us of him driving toward the tent with the victims standing in front," the narrative said. "... The suspect was upset that the video ended before 'the good part' as he described it."

The video stopped prior to the impact with the tent, although it showed people standing in front of it "so he could go run everything over," the report said.
