SANDY – The man who drove his car through the showroom of a Sandy car dealership on Monday afternoon is out of jail Tuesday, sharing his emotional side of the story with us.
Michael Murray, who has faced a series of personal challenges over the past year, admitted that he was frustrated and emotionally drained when he crashed his newly purchased car into the Tim Dahle dealership building. The incident, caught on camera, is one that Murray does not take lightly.
“I know that me crashing that car into the building was wrong,” Murray said, visibly emotional. He said he felt everything was going wrong, and that was the last straw.
Murray explained that hours after purchasing the used car, he discovered issues with it that he believed were not disclosed to him during the sale. Feeling betrayed, he wanted his $4,000 back.
In a candid conversation, Murray opened up about the emotional toll he’s been experiencing.
“I’m tired of being here and trying to be a productive member of society just to keep getting knocked down and told no,” he said, referencing what he described as a series of personal setbacks over the past year. His frustration and desperation culminated in the chaotic incident at the dealership.
