He sat in a detective’s car during the search and was allowed back in the home after about two hours. No arrest was made at that time.Deputies have been investigating at least four incidents of drivers either hitting or swerving to miss large objects left on Highway 36 at night — from a coffee table to a chair, and even a kid’s bicycle. In one instance, a young married couple escaped with their lives after dodging what they thought was a television in the middle of Highway 36 on a dark night in December. Their car crashed through a wire guardrail and slid into a ravine.They told First Alert 6 that they saw a man standing on the shoulder right after the crash. Sheriff Aaron Hanson alleges that was Rademacker who intentionally placed the object in the highway. ”And resulted in him being able to see first responders responding and him being able to respond as a helper. But worst-case scenario could have resulted in someone’s serious injury or death," Hanson said.First Alert 6 Investigates found two other drivers who had hit objects placed on the same highway. The damage to their vehicles was not as extensive. Watch First Alert Live at 10 to hear their story.The story has taken other twists and turns as well.
