PORTLAND, Ore. — The Portland man who plowed past blockades, nearly hitting several people including small children along the Rose Festival’s Grand Floral Parade route, was sentenced to five years in prison on Tuesday. Sidney Mecham, 43, of Portland pleaded guilty to two felony counts of unlawful use of a weapon and 16 misdemeanor counts of recklessly endangering another person and reckless driving.
Appearing in court Tuesday, Mecham said that the incident "was not a planned attack" and that he "acted on impulse."
Dashcam video from the pickup truck of Sidney Mecham, 43, showed him weaving around road blocks, nearly hitting several people, at the parade route in June 2023.
