LORAIN, OH (KTRK) --
Police said a man witnessed a horrible car crash. What happened next, just downright cold behavior, according to police.

They explained he whipped out his cell phone to record the teen's final moments alive instead of racing over to help a dying teenager. The man now faces charges.

"I just wanted to educate people to slow down," Paul Pelton, 41, said in a Facebook apology video. "I didn't do that to have some type of gore video."

Police say Pelton began recording video on his cellphone seconds after a car crashed into an SUV, a house and a tree and then caught on fire. Both 17-year-old teens suffered major injuries. One of them later died at the hospital.

Detectives say Pelton mocked the teens in the video, repeatedly calling them "idiots." At one point, he opened the doors of the vehicle and filmed the boys inside. A neighbor is seen running to help the teens, but police say Pelton himself never offered any aid.



There's more at the link, including that he didn't offer the video to police, but posted it on Facebook and then tried to sell it.

This is some psychotic Nightcrawler shite. Space reserved for further commentary as news comes in.

What charges is he facing? Is there a law that requires a person to help out?

Horrible person, but this was funny:

Pelton also now claims he didn't try to sell the video. Instead, he says he offered to give the video to news organizations for free in exchange for a donation to his private charity.



Bigger story, pictures, and more video

That's pretty fricked up. How big of a piece of shite do you have to be to do something like that and then try to profit from it?

Welcome to social media, where everyone thinks they're a journalist breaking the next big story. It magnifies the narcissism in these people.

Not sure how they prosecute him for not helping. He does not have a legal obligation to help.

I can watch someone drown and do nothing. But if I start to help I am legally obligated to continue with due care. Simply because my act of helping may deter others from helping.

Still a piece of garbage
