According to local sources, Yabut, a serving army national guard officer and former Zencash developer, eluded Virginia police for 2 hours, covering a distance of 60 miles in an M113 armoured personnel carrier on Tuesday. The vehicle was reportedly stolen from Fort Pickett, where the accused was serving as ‘commander of the Petersburg-based Headquarters Company, 276th Engineer Battalion’. While his motivation for appropriating the vehicle is still a grey area, it has been reported that Yabut was charged with ‘driving under the influence of drugs’ (DUID). Thankfully nobody was injured.
During his criminal act, Yabut posted a series of abnormal tweets including a wiki post of the military vehicle he was driving, a map of the area he later gave himself up in and these,
His Twitter soon exploded as fans and unamused onlookers took to his page to pass comment. Zencash also publically took to Twitter to denounce any associations with the him or his illegal actions.
Upon his arrest, Joshua affirms that he took the vehicle under orders of his Brigade Commander, as part of a police response test he was tasked with, and denies all drug charges as “just bogus” and “a big NO with capital letters”.
The investigation is still ongoing and yesterday Yabut stood in front of Richmond General District Court, charged with DUID and one felony of driving an unauthorised vehicle. He is still being detained in Richmond Jail where he will wait until his next hearing, scheduled on July 11th.
