Extended dashcam video: Portland man plows through Grand Floral Parade barricades
Newly obtained dashcam footage shows a Portland man plowing past blockades and nearly hitting several people including small children along the Rose Festival’s Grand Floral parade route in June.
Sidney Mecham, 42, of Portland pleaded not guilty to 38 counts, including felony unlawful use of a weapon and attempting to elude an officer.
Prosecutors submitted the dramatic video, taken from inside Mecham’s Chevy Avalanche, as evidence during an August preventative detention hearing.
Multnomah County Circuit Judge Judith Matarazzo granted the state’s motion to keep Mecham behind bars while awaiting trial.
KGW obtained the video through a public records request. Â Â Â
