Welcome to

A scary twist tonight in the ongoing case of the I-75 tragedy.

This is the picture of just one of the tires slashed on FDLE agent Danny Banks personal vehicle. The vehicle was parked at his Orlando home when it was vandalized. Banks was the lead investigator on the I-75 report into FHP’s handling of the January accident that killed 11 people. Thursday his tires were slashed and a copy of the report was found on his windshield. Crosshairs were draw around the FDLE badge on the cover. FDLE Spokeswoman Gretl Plessinger says threats will not be tolerated.

“We will not allow our agents to be intimidated. We have to protect them so they can do their jobs to protect the State of Florida,” said Gretl.

We asked Plessinger if any of the FHP troopers mentioned in the report were suspects. She says the troopers FDLE interviewed were all well mannered and corporative. FHP released this statement about the threat.

“The Florida Highway Patrol is aware of the incident, and we will provide FDLE investigators with any information they need to determine who is at fault,” said FHP Director Col. David Brierton

FDLE is offering a 5-thousand dollar reward for any information that leads to an arrest. If you know who slashed the agents tires you’re asked to call 1-877-FLA-WANTED (877-352-9268) or e-mail info@fdle.state.fl.us.
