Remember back in late January when 24-year-old Hector Martinez of Covina, CA and his riding buddies held up traffic on the I-10 freeway so he could propose marriage to girl friend Paige Hernandez? Well, the stunt has now resulted in the arrest of Martinez and three others.
All four were booked on suspicion of misdemeanor public nuisance and participation in an unlawful assembly. Martinez also booked on suspicion of exhibition of speed. They were later released. The “San Gabriel Valley Tribune” has the story here. And here’s the video of the stunt in case you missed it:
The video already has more than 1,747,000 views on YouTube.
