The 21-year-old grandson of a former mayor is alleged to have covered up driving his pickup truck into a concrete power pole, which may have contributed to an electrical fire that caused $900,000 in damages to a neighboring used car dealership.

Ian Nunn, 21, is the grandson of the former mayor of Fort Pierce, Fla., Bill Dannahower. According to a seven-page arrest affidavit, and some surveillance footage, he is also in some serious trouble.

The footage of the accident taken from surveillance on November 10, 2010, reveals a “truck-like vehicle traveling north on U.S. 1 and coming to an abrupt stop. The vehicle then leaves the scene and moments later there is smoke emanating from Select Autos, followed by flames,” according to the police report. That “truck-like vehicle” was Nunn's, who after leaving the scene filed an insurance claim contending that the truck was damaged in an unreported accident that occurred in the Jacksonville area.
